Talos Os Expert
This is for anyone running Kubernetes on Talos Linux, the immutable API-driven OS with no SSH access by default. It covers the full stack: generating and validating machine configs, bootstrapping clusters, managing upgrades with talosctl, and hardening security with disk encryption and secure boot. The TDD approach is smart here because mistakes mean cluster outages and recovery without SSH is painful. Built for Talos 1.6+, it handles both cloud and bare metal deployments, with specific guidance on CNI choices, etcd health, and zero-trust configurations. If you're moving to Talos or already running it in production, this handles the operational reality of managing infrastructure you can't just shell into.
