Talos Linux is already the smallest, most secure Kubernetes OS available, with <50 binaries and a demonstrably low number of CVEs. Now, we’re adding something new for teams operating in highly regulated environments: FIPS-compliant builds for Talos Linux. The Federal Information Processing Standards, or FIPS, are standards developed by the National Institute of Standards and […] The post Talos Linux now offers FIPS 140-3 compliant builds appeared first on Sidero Labs.| Sidero Labs

Hardware drivers, low level services, and extra executables are reasons you may need to add or create systems extensions. You can add extensions managed by Sidero Labs to Talos Linux easily from the image factory, but how […] The post How to build a Talos system extension appeared first on Sidero Labs.| Sidero Labs

Teams may also look to new cloud providers or tools to cut costs, but each additional layer adds complexity, leading to more work and […]| Sidero Labs
