The State of Immutable Linux | SCALE The Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE) is North America’s largest community-run open source conference.

How can you compare today's immutable distros?

Join @justingarrison.com as he dives into the topic of Immutable Linux, covering: Flatcar, Bottlerocket, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS, Talos Linux, MicroOS, and Kairos.

Why fleet management is basically rocket science x100 How can you master every tool in your stack when each one is brilliant and unique? At scale, the answer is: you don't.

When you run a modern stack, you rely on dozens of interacting tools - each built by a different brilliant engineer, refined over years of effort.

So how do you manage that level complexity at scale?

You strip away the noise until you can see what matters.

Multi-doc configurations with Talos Linux YouTube video by Sidero Labs

Machine config is often one giant YAML applied once to install the OS and bring up #Kubernetes

Need certs, storage, or networking first? That gets messy.

Talos uses multi-doc config to apply changes in stages. In v1.12, this is extended to networking.

What’s the difference between Talos Linux and K3s? In short: a lot.

Talos = a Linux distribution that installs Kubernetes.
K3s = a Kubernetes distribution.

Survive the crunch: Reduce Kubernetes costs without compromising speed Leaders know incremental tooling won't fix these problems. To reduce Kubernetes costs, teams must examine how they view infrastructure.

65% of engineers and managers report having taken on expanded responsibilities. Only 3% saw their workload decrease. That kind of shift leads to burnout, risk, and growing technical debt.

If you’re managing Kubernetes right now, you likely feel the crunch too.

Thanks folks for coming out to our special #KubeCon event with the @oxide.computer team. Now, back to the booth!

Survive the crunch: Reduce Kubernetes costs without compromising speed Leaders know incremental tooling won't fix real problems. To reduce Kubernetes costs, teams must examine how they view infrastructure.

Cutting cloud costs but ignoring K8s ops? There's a bigger leak.

→ Drift correction: 10 hrs/week
→ Cluster upgrades: 6–8 hrs
→ OIDC setup: repeated across every cluster
→ Time lost ≈ $16K/month

Omni removes this overhead. We believe it could change your team.
