The company behind Talos Linux has been acquired by Yardi (of WeWork fame). I use Talos for my homelab and have been considering using it for work. I'm a little worried about the future direction. I'm not sure why they want to add VMs as a native resource rather than going in the direction of KubeVirt as a first class citizen (which already worked well).

hm, a hypervisor too? Feels like something inbetween Openshift and Proxmox for a VMware replacement. Feels like that is the most obvious GTM, they have an immutability play that is probably interesting for edge-type nodes.

I'm using Talos Linux in production (well 12 nodes, but still production) and I'm very happy with it. Hopefully it stays that way...

We are running Abejora on a Talos Kubernetes cluster. Siderob Labs frames the acquisition as it were a good thing. I'm not completely convinced. If the Sidero Labs is doing well, then why would they need the acquisition? And if the Sidero Labs is not doing well, then why would Yardi keep the status quo?
