🎛 Architecture & Config#

• Immutability: Concepts behind the read-only file system and ephemeral state.
• Machine Configs: Managing node configuration via YAML definitions and patches.
• API Access: Interacting with nodes via gRPC endpoints rather than SSH.

🛠 Operations & CLI#

• talosctl: Essential commands for bootstrapping, debugging, and the dashboard TUI.
• Lifecycle: Workflows for safe OS version upgrades and configuration application.
• Extensions: Managing system extensions (drivers/tools) via system extensions images.
