Talos Linux, a specialist Linux distribution for running Kubernetes, has been updated to version 1.12.0. This release introduces new network configuration documents, new user volume types, and updates to disk encryption: "Welcome to the 1.12.0 release of Talos. What's new? The Kubernetes API server in Talos has been updated to use a more secure set of TLS cipher suites by default. This is in line with a set of best practices documented in CIS 1.12 benchmark. New field in UserVolumeConfig - volumeType that defaults to partition, but can be set to directory. When set to directory, provisioning and filesystem operations are skipped and a directory is created under /var/mnt/'name'. The directory type enables lightweight storage volumes backed by a host directory, instead of requiring a full block device partition. Talos versions prior to v1.12 used the state of PCR 7 and signed policies locked to PCR 11 for TPM based disk encryption. Talos now supports configuring which PCRs states are to be used for TPM based disk encryption via the options.pcrs field in the tpm section of the disk encryption configuration. Component updates: Linux kernel 6.18.1, Kubernetes 1.35.0, CNI Plugins 1.9.0, cryptsetup 2.8.1, LVM2 2_03_37, systemd-udevd: 257.8...." See the release notes and the what's new document for more information. Download (SHA256): v1.12.0/metal-amd64.iso (299MB), v1.12.0/metal-arm64.iso (185MB). |

| About Talos
|
| Talos is a specialist Linux-based operating system for running Kubernetes, an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling and management of containerised applications. Minimal, immutable and hardened, it does not offer any shell or interactive console; instead, all system management is done via remote Application Programming Interface (API) calls, where messages sent from a client application are protected with mutual Transport Layer Security TLS (mTLS) authentication. Talos also delivers atomic updates, thus maintaining the Linux and Kubernetes versions up-to-date. Talos is developed in the USA by Sidero Labs, Inc.
