I’m planning on doing something similar but want to use Talos with bare metal machines. I suspect to see similar price reductions from our current EKS bill.

- threeseed 2y agoDepending on your cluster size I highly recommend Omni: https://omni.siderolabs.com https://omni.siderolabs.com It took minutes to setup a cluster and I love having a UI to see what is happening.

My one big experience with it was the recent bug which (as I recall) attempted to harden the system by marking memory pages as no-execute, which caused virtual runtime languages like Java to basically break entirely when running on a node using this version of Bottlerocket. It was fixed pretty quickly, but it did feel like a weird thing to slip through...
