Installing and Configuring Kubernetes Cluster on Talos Linux
Step 2: Installing and configuring a Kubernetes cluster on Talos Linux nodes, ready for Cozystack installation.
The second step in deploying a Cozystack cluster is to install and configure a Kubernetes cluster on Talos Linux nodes. A prerequisite to this step is having installed Talos Linux. The result is a Kubernetes cluster installed, configured, and ready to install Cozystack.
If this is your first time installing Cozystack, start with the Cozystack tutorial.
The recommended option is to use Talm, a declarative CLI tool, which has ready presets for Cozystack and uses the power of Talos API under the hood.
