Tight integration across your Kubernetes environments makes your infrastructure consistent, seamless, and scalable. Omni manages all your Talos Linux clusters in all locations for truly hybrid Kubernetes.
Deploying Kubernetes on physical servers can cut down on cloud costs, remove virtualization overhead, and reduce complexities. With Omni, provisioning bare metal Kubernetes clusters directly on top of Talos Linux removes the headaches of provisioning, backup and migration, and cluster management. Talos Linux is purpose built for Kubernetes so you can realize the full potential of your bare metal machines.
Bringing Kubernetes into your data center removes cloud headaches such as rising cloud costs, challenges to meet compliance and data privacy regulations, and a lack of security. Using Omni with Talos Linux in your data center delivers a highly-secure environment with one-click cluster provisioning so you can focus on your business and not your infrastructure.
Mission-critical environments need 100% uptime, high security to keep out uninformed and bad actors, and remote management to ensure access and integration with your data center environment. Omni and Talos Linux operate Kubernetes securely and efficiently. With automated remote operations, there’s no need to send engineers to remote locations. Simplified deployment and upgrades eliminate the need for on-site expertise
Wouldn’t it be great if our operating environments were simple and all the same? Well, they aren’t. You’re running workloads on your own hardware, at the edge, in your data center, bursting to the cloud, and every environment functions differently.
Omni brings your Kubernetes environments together by standardizing configurations, automating and implementing strong security practices across your infrastructures, and utilizing the capabilities needed in your different environments.
Omni unifies your infrastructure to enable truly hybrid Kubernetes.
The Omni difference for managed Kubernetes
Omni makes managing your Kubernetes clusters predictable and reliable by collapsing the overly complex Kubernetes functions into a merged infrastructure with OS management. See how Omni makes your environment more secure, simple, and reliable, while saving you money.
Security and protecting cloud infrastructures are top concerns for every business. As cyber threats grow in frequency, sophistication, and level of destruction, organizations are looking to implement systems that more easily and effectively protect their infrastructures.
Protect your environment with Talos Linux and Omni and get built-in security features designed specifically for Kubernetes.
Reduced Attack Surface
The minimal, focused design of Talos Linux and Omni reduces the potential attack surface, massively limiting opportunities for malicious actors to penetrate your infrastructure and providing you with a fundamentally strong foundation against security exploits. Talos Linux uses a hardened Linux Kernel as per the KSPP guidelines and hardened Kubernetes as per CSI benchmark.
Immutable Operating System
Talos Linux was designed from the ground up to be immutable, providing a consistent, unalterable state, enhancing consistency, and making you inherently less vulnerable.
API-Driven Management
Replacing traditional shell management interfaces with APIs reduces human error and encourages consistency. Talos Linux and Omni were designed with no shell or SSH, so your system stays standardized and free from configuration drift.
Organizations are actively seeking to streamline processes to improve efficiency, enhance employee satisfaction, and improve customer experiences. The controller pattern developed out of Kubernetes for system operations reconciles the process to desired states. Simplifying the operating system and Kubernetes management with Talos Linux and Omni is another step and adds a benefit of increased security.
Built-in Intelligence
Omni has built in functions that embed operational and Kubernetes functions to make your work easier, accelerate setup time, and reduce the need for specialized expertise.
Purpose-Built
Talos Linux and Omni’s purpose-built design for Kubernetes workloads offers faster container startup, reduced resource consumption, and a streamlined security model focused on container isolation. This targeted build improves performance, security, reliability, and efficiency.
Minimal Design
Talos Linux and Omni run on a lightweight OS which removes unnecessary components and provides only essential functionality, leading to fewer security vulnerabilities, less security attack surfaces, faster startup times, and lower resource consumption.
Reliability built into the Kubernetes environment cuts costs across the board, from hardware to team time to downtime.
Declarative
Omni enables you to focus on the “what” rather than the “how,” simplifying maintenance, reducing complexity, and enabling the use of GitOps management flows.
Minimal Design
Omni’s minimal design removes unnecessary components, providing only essential functionality which leads to fewer security vulnerabilities, less security attack surfaces, faster startup times, and lower resource consumption.
Portability
Omni is portable across infrastructures, enabling smooth transitions of applications and data between cloud and on-prem environments without significant rework. This gives you the flexibility to choose the most valuable services, avoid vendor lock-in, optimize costs, and ensure business continuity.
Overall IT spending is expected to increase while IT budgets are tightening and infrastructure demands are increasing. Cost savings will take center stage in 2025 due to geopolitical uncertainty and increased investment in other IT areas, such as security and AI. One cost saving measure expected to increase in 2025 is the shift from the cloud to on-prem or hybrid cloud solutions.
Operating System Choice
Talos Linux streamlines operations and reduces costs by being minimal, requiring significantly less maintenance, and increasing utilization for system resources.
Portability
Omni is portable across infrastructures, enabling smooth transitions of applications and data between cloud, on-prem, and edge environments without significant rework. This provides the flexibility to choose the best services based on needs, avoid vendor lock-in, optimize costs, and ensure business continuity.
Flexibility
A flexible approach delivered by Omni enables organizations to choose the infrastructure for their varying compute needs. This flexible approach facilitates running your workloads on-prem, in the cloud, or on the edge that enables your organization to rapidly adapt to new opportunities and challenges.
