Sidero Labs, Inc.

Founded 2020

Run Kubernetes clusters and virtual machines securely on an immutable operating system

Pricing model

Free Tier, Paid

You can use Talos Linux to run secure, immutable infrastructure for your Kubernetes clusters, virtual machines, and AI workloads. Because it eliminates traditional operating system utilities like shells, SSH daemons, and package managers, it significantly reduces the attack surface and prevents configuration drift across your servers. Everything is controlled declaratively through a single mutual-TLS API using configuration files. You can deploy it across bare metal servers, on-premises hardware, or cloud environments while maintaining strict consistency, reproducible system states, and simplified compliance auditing.
