We make bare metal practical.
Get all of the control, none of the complexity.
Kubernetes on bare metal is powerful but notoriously complex. Traditional operating systems weren’t built with Kubernetes in mind, forcing teams to stitch together layers of tooling just to get clusters online.
With Talos Linux and Omni, you get a secure, minimal OS purpose-built for Kubernetes and a control plane that manages everything declaratively. The result is a streamlined, automated, and reliable bare metal infrastructure that’s easy to deploy and scale.
What your bare metal Kubernetes needs
Talos Linux and Omni provide declarative management of Kubernetes clusters for a secure, stable, and reliable bare metal infrastructure. We make Kubernetes easy.
Streamlined operations
- IPMI and Redfish automation for bare metal management.
- Pre-provision hardware to deploy when it’s ready.
- Manage multiple data centers or edge locations through SideroLink tunnel.
Flexibility
- Run on x86_64 or ARM hardware to optimize for cost and cooling.
- Support AI accelerators, including NVIDIA, Hailo, Tenstorrent, AMD, and Intel accelerators.
- Deploy down to the edge, up to the data center, or out to the cloud.
SaaS simple management
- Manage clusters with modern web UI or automated GitOps.
- Single API to manage hardware, operating system, and Kubernetes.
- Use Omni SaaS or self-host in your data center with bare metal servers anywhere.
Simply secure
- Enterprise-grade authentication, access controls, and auditing.
- Encrypted tunneling with SideroLink and KubeSpan.
- Minimal OS design reduces attack surface.
How we make Kubernetes bare metal infrastructure better
General-purpose Linux distributions bring layers of baggage that add complexity, slow provisioning, and make secure operations harder than they should be.
- Provisioning bare metal requires multiple tools and custom scripts.
- Security is bolted on after the fact.
- Scaling requires piecing together scripts, installers, and dashboards.
- Updates are manual, brittle, and scary.
- Fragmented dashboards and scripts make management inconsistent.
- Automated out-of-band provisioning with Omni Bare Metal Infrastructure Provider.
- Minimal OS design, no SSH, full disk encryption, and secure boot.
- Centralized lifecycle management for OS and Kubernetes together, with upgrades, scaling, and monitoring in a single workflow.
- Automatic, reliable upgrades for Kubernetes and Talos Linux through a single API.
- One API and a modern UI for centralized, declarative control of all your clusters.
Are Talos Linux and Omni right for you?
Some organizations have no problem with scripts, one-off tooling, and manual processes. If that’s working for you, great. But if you want automation, security, and visibility built in, you should consider Talos Linux and Omni. If you see yourself in the list below, let’s talk.
You don’t use just any old hardware. You want your team to have the best, and that includes the hardware of your choice.
The platform is the platform, and you need it to just work. You want to spend your time making your infrastructure great and adding value.
You know how to make the most of Kubernetes and expect fast, reliable, and high-performance workloads, whether they are AI/ML or databases.
You need Kubernetes that just works, without weeks of setup or endless tinkering. You don’t have time to master the details of networking, drivers, and OS hardening before your first cluster is even online.
Whether it’s using the best and fastest hardware or locking it down for control and security, you want more. You have big goals and high expectations for your infrastructure.
