Omni for the edge

Edge is hard. We make it easy.

Focus on your business, not managing your Kubernetes clusters.

The edge challenge

If you run Kubernetes at the edge, you know the lack of security and IT expertise puts your infrastructure at risk. Traditional operating systems are not designed for the threats and complexities of edge computing today. You need a way to lock it down, reduce liabilities, and ensure security even in the hardest-to-reach locations.

The Sidero solution

Enter Talos Linux and Omni. Designed for Kubernetes edge environments with zero-trust security that eliminates:

Tampering
Misconfigurations
Configuration drift

Global enterprises succeed at the edge with Sidero

Why Omni

The old way of managing edge Kubernetes (and why we are better)

General-purpose Linux distributions are complex and monolithic. They’re built to do anything, which makes them difficult to set up, secure, and maintain.

Them

Kubernetes and OS updates require different deployment methods.
Linux and Kubernetes are separate distributions to maintain.
Optional DIY hardening and performance optimization.
Administration and automation via fragile cloud-init scripts or SSH.
Large OS downloads and unnecessary packages.

OS and Kubernetes updates through a single API and configuration.
Talos Linux and Kubernetes are managed together.
CIS and KSPP hardening by default.
Controllers apply configuration through a single, secure API.
Default Talos Linux installation is <100MB.

Who it's for

Are Talos Linux and Omni right for you?

We’ll be honest with you. Using Talos Linux and Omni to run your Edge Kubernetes environment is not for everyone. This is who benefits. If you see yourself in this list, lets talk.

You are looking for a secure edge solution you can rely on, so you have the space to focus on your business.

You need a Kubernetes distribution that works under constrained networks and unreliable power, so your team can focus on building value.

Whether you’re running AI at the edge, streaming video, or controlling critical industrial systems, you need flexibility, high-speed storage, predictable networking, and Kubernetes that can keep up.

You need Kubernetes that just works, no matter where you deploy. The simpler and more guided the setup, the better.

Whether you’re pushing performance on specialized hardware or locking systems down to survive remote, untrusted environments, you expect more. Your edge infrastructure needs to be fast, secure, and fully under your control.
