🧪 Building My Talos Lab with Terraform (Tofu)
As part of my infrastructure-as-code journey, I've built a personal Talos Linux lab using Terraform by Tofu and the Talos provider. This setup allows me to declaratively manage and experiment with Kubernetes clusters running on Talos — a minimal, secure OS designed specifically for Kubernetes.
The full source code is available on GitHub:
🔗 orpere/talos-tofu
🛠️ What’s Inside
- 🚀 Terraform (
opentofu) automation to bootstrap Talos clusters - 🧱 Configuration files for Talos OS and machine secrets
- 🧪 Designed for labs or home setups using bare metal or virtual machines
- 🔐 Secure and immutable Kubernetes nodes
- 🧩 Modular design for reusability and experimentation
🧵 Why Talos?
Talos eliminates the complexity and attack surface of traditional Linux distributions, making it an ideal base for secure Kubernetes environments. Managing it declaratively through Terraform adds an extra layer of automation and reproducibility.

If you're experimenting with Talos or building out a modern, secure Kubernetes lab, I hope this repo provides a solid foundation.
