New in Talos: Multi-doc config for networking. No more bricking a remote server just because there’s a single typo in a 200-line configuration file.

Machine config is often one giant YAML applied once to install the OS and bring up #Kubernetes

Need certs, storage, or networking first? That gets messy.

Talos uses multi-doc config to apply changes in stages. In v1.12, this is extended to networking.

What’s the difference between Talos Linux and K3s? In short: a lot.

Talos = a Linux distribution that installs Kubernetes.
K3s = a Kubernetes distribution.

65% of engineers and managers report having taken on expanded responsibilities. Only 3% saw their workload decrease. That kind of shift leads to burnout, risk, and growing technical debt.

If you’re managing Kubernetes right now, you likely feel the crunch too.

Survive the crunch: Reduce Kubernetes costs without compromising speed
Leaders know incremental tooling won't fix these problems. To reduce Kubernetes costs, teams must examine how they view infrastructure.

Cutting cloud costs but ignoring K8s ops? There's a bigger leak.

→ Drift correction: 10 hrs/week
→ Cluster upgrades: 6–8 hrs
→ OIDC setup: repeated across every cluster
→ Time lost ≈ $16K/month

Omni removes this overhead. We believe it could change your team.

Yes, managed Kubernetes can reduce complexity.

It also reduces your control and increases your bill.

Kubernetes doesn’t need to be painful. You just need the find the right model for you.

Why Kubernetes feels so complex (and how to fix it)
Kubernetes complexity is a known issue, but your team doesn’t have to accept it. Omni removes infra-related complexity & keeps what you need.
