Podcast: Download (43.7MB) | Embed

On episode 41 of the Full Stack Journey podcast, we go back to basics to talk about Linux and purpose-built Linux distributions with Tim Gerla and Andrew Rynhard of Talos Systems. In particular, the discussion focuses on the Talos open source project, which is aimed at building a fit-for-purpose OS designed expressly for running Kubernetes.

We cover topics including:

  • What is Talos?
  • Why a new OS? Why not build on top of previous open-source efforts?
  • How would someone new to the technology get started?
  • Are there other technologies folks need to know before using Talos?

Thanks for listening!
