Full Stack Journey 041: Talos Builds An Open-Source OS For Kubernetes

On episode 41 of the Full Stack Journey podcast, we go back to basics to talk about Linux and purpose-built Linux distributions with Tim Gerla and Andrew Rynhard of Talos Systems. In particular, the discussion focuses on the Talos open source project, which is aimed at building a fit-for-purpose OS designed expressly for running Kubernetes.
We cover topics including:

* What is Talos?
* Why a new OS? Why not build on top of previous open-source efforts?
* How would someone new to the technology get started?
* Are there other technologies folks need to know before using Talos?

Thanks for listening!
