Talos touts:

• Security: reduce your attack surface by practicing the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) and enforcing mutual TLS (mTLS).
• Predictability: remove needless variables and reduce unknown factors from your environment using immutable infrastructure.
• Evolvability: simplify and increase your ability to easily accommodate future changes to your architecture.

Hit up the README if you’re curious about the name, why there’s no shell/ssh access, or how it’s different than CoreOS/RancherOS/Linuxkit
