Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I chose talos cause it was more complicated but easier to manage.
  • Talos is great for building declarative kubernetes clusters.
  • Parent context: I briefly had Proxmox installed on these machines, but I got the impression that these Radxa units lack the bells and whistles necessary for proper virtualization, so I decided to jump into raw Talos, because I'm not in o...
  • I just run them on Talos. If a card dies i just replace it and rerun Talos scripts. Takes about five minutes.
  • Alternatively, an immutable distribution such as Talos, or Rancher/Elemental.

Cons

  • Or you could install a server-oriented distro like Talos.
  • Talos is a bit different from the rest. Not only will you be working with kubernetes from scratch, you'll also be working with a read only operating system that you have no traditional access to.

Parent context: I briefly had Proxmox installed on these machines, but I got the impression that these Radxa units lack the bells and whistles necessary for proper virtualization, so I decided to jump into raw Talos, because I'm not in over my head deep enough, I suppose. Reply: So far it's worked out pretty well. I'm learning a great deal, but I haven't tried my hand at distributed storage yet.

I also saw Talos as answers, I had a good experience with it too.

Highly recommend Talos, and for the ultimate experience, Omni to orchestrate
