My primary use case for K3s is small machines, cheap VPS, Pi, etc. Would love to hear from folks who have had success with Talos in those spaces but last time I gave it a shot the welded shut hood prevented me from doing the little tweaks necessary to get running in those environments.
In the cloud or on prem I suspect folks are having better luck than I did, but also open to being wrong about this.
I'm early on in my Kubernetes journey and have opted to focus on Talos. Would you be able to share a bit more about the issues and limitations you encountered?
It's basically a k8s operating system of sorts. One that basically boots up as a k8s node and that's all it does. You can't log in to it or interact with it other than as a k8s node. That reduces complexity, attack surface and makes things very repeatable

SRE here who has dealt with both. Talos is operating system and Kubernetes management system without a ton of batteries included.
K3s runs on existing operating systems with batteries included.
What is the talos model?
