I feel like immutable OS are under appreciated. Like NanoBSD, Talos, etc. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/nanobsd/ https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/n

  True but so many vendors are still only releasing integrations which are compatible with RHEL/Ubuntu so it great that Talos exists but we can't really use it because our vendors have specific requirements for supported kernels and patch levels of more common OS.

  Shoutout to my favorites, Flatcar https://github.com/flatcar/Flatcar#flatcar-container-linux https://github.com/flatcar/Flatcar#flatcar-container-linux (Apache 2) and Bottlerocket https://github.com/bottlerocket-os#bottlerocket https://github.com/bottlerocket-os#bottlerocket (Apache 2) Flatcar grinds my gears in that they have their own cutesy (and ragingly stupidly named) Ignition/Butane/whatever instance provisioning file format when they deprecated the damn-near-standard cloud-init. Bottlerocket also has their own thingy, but at least they go wholesale toward static Kubernetes Pod manifests which are much easier to reason about
