You have to try GitOps. It downloads and applies Kubernetes files for you.

Commit your Kubernetes files to Git, and your cluster will install them for you.

You only need a GitHub account, a token, and two minutes of time. You can also use Bitbucket, GitLab, or other services.

Managing a Kubernetes cluster is hard.

Luckily, Talos Linux makes it easier for us.

Here are my 21 favorite talosctl commands that you should know.

The Talos admin's secret weapon:

Using troubleshooting tools.

You may not be able to use SSH with Talos. Instead, use tools to help with finding problems.

You have to try Talos Linux. It's an OS made for Kubernetes.

But don't create many VMs to play with it.

You can create a cluster now with one command.

The most important FluxCD create commands.

In GitOps you use FluxCD to synchronize Kubernetes files and apply them. No more "kubectl apply -f <file>". Commit them to git, and the server will download and apply it for you.

Terraform vs Ansible

You tell Terraform WHAT it should build.
- How many VMs?
- What VMs?
- What OS?
And Terraform will figure it out.

With Ansible, you tell HOW it should configure it.
- What software to install?
- How to change configs?
- What updates to install?
