@Oliver Bertuch Are you familiar with Talos linux and other minimal linux distribution designed for k8s?

I am aware, but never used it.
We wanted a supported platform to use RKE2 as our way to deploy, run and maintain a K8s cluster.
Talos isn't a supported option there.
While I in general like the idea of purging even more things from the OS and put it into containers, I don't really see the necessity.
Of course, if you run thousands of nodes, this will be a different story.
Lately I saw a case study[k8s-based edge computing] of Roche; they created their secure local k8s environment with talos + omini.
