We'd love to meet you

Dive Deep into Talos, Kubernetes, and Omni

Whether you are just getting started with Kubernetes or already responsible for production environments, we want to hear from you, face-to-face.

Taloscon has 3 tracks covering how you can simplify your Kubernetes and machine management. You’ll hear from companies that are already using Talos to build their products.

There are workshops to help you level up your skills led by the engineers behind Talos and Omni.

“Talos is the easiest way to run Kubernetes. We need to simplify our {AI, batch, web} workloads and Kubernetes is the best option.

Our infrastructure is {on-prem, hybrid} and Taloscon has talks and workshops to help build and maintain our infrastructure.

Did I mention it’s free?”

Descriptions

Keynote

Steve Francis

Steve Francis, CEO of Sidero Labs, will be giving the opening keynote about what’s new in Talos Linux and Omni.

Workshops

Spencer Smith and Tim Jones

There will be multiple, hands-on workshops to help you get started running Talos Linux and Omni. Come ask questions from the engineers behind the products.

Running game servers on Talos

Vincent Behar

Ubisoft has built their Agones and Kubernetes game server fleet utilizing bare metal for performance and cloud control planes for cost effectiveness. This talk will showcase their cluster management built with Temporal, Talos, and Omni

OpenShift to Omni

Pip Oomen

In this talk you will get an overview of how security in enterprise-grade Kubernetes has evolved over the years. A trip down memory-lane, visiting RedHat, CoreOS, IBM and Sidero Labs.

Why Talos at the edge?

Pau Camana Soler

Roche has built their automated edge Kubernetes solution on Talos. We’ll show how it differs from general purpose Linux distributions, and how it helped reach their goals of simplifying the stack while increasing security and reducing maintenance burden.

Running KubeVirt on Talos

Michael Trip

In this talk I will tell you all about my journey with Kubevirt and Talos Linux in my homelab. I will describe the pitfalls, the quirks and of course, could I see this running in a production environment?

How Sidero runs Omni

Tim Jones

The Omni SaaS runs hundreds of independent instances for customers running thousands of Kubernetes clusters. This talk will peel back the curtain to show how Sidero runs the SaaS, automates the configuration, and rolls out updates for new releases.

Managing Talos with CUElang

David Flanagan

In this session, we’ll take a look at making your Talos configurations modular, composable, and shareable; using CUE.

Using CUE, a powerful data configuration language, we can define, validate, and generate Talos configurations with ease. CUE provides templating and typing with a JSON-like syntax with a wealth of other features, such as the module system, that open up new paradigms for shipping configuration.

Let’s have some fun.

Bringing Kubernetes to the Edge: Lessons from the Frontlines

Gerrit Tamboer

In this talk, we will share insights drawn from over ten real-world implementations of Kubernetes at the Edge. We’ll dive into the current state of the ecosystem, assess its readiness for large-scale deployment, and discuss the common challenges and pitfalls that teams may encounter along the way. Whether you’re just starting with Kubernetes or looking to push its boundaries, this session will equip you with valuable lessons and strategies to successfully navigate the path forward.

Talos @NESC: From core compute to AI/ML in Nokia private & edge clouds

Timo Ahokas

Talos has become a foundational component in building services at NESC (Nokia Enterprise and Services Cloud). We will have a look at what services Talos powers during a journey covering managed Kubernetes, edge deployments, rebuilding OpenStack virtualisation and AI/ML use-cases.

Building a Bare Metal Platform with Talos

Andrei Kvapil

How Aenix built a developer-centric platform on Talos Linux using GitOps to give us full control and stability from application down to the metal.

Omni deployments made easy

Neil Cresswell

Multi-Cluster Management with Portainer, helping you to centrally configure and consume your environments.

OpenStack on Talos Linux

Wout van Heeswijk

Why we picked Talos Linux as the base operating system for running an OpenStack based IaaS platform.

From homelab to production

Gerhard Lazu

As you move from homelab to production with Talos, you will be faced with several challenges: non-disruptive upgrades, backup & restore, securing secrets, observability at multiple levels & host security. Let me show you how I reached a simple & efficient productions K8s setup with Talos.
