Talos 1.9.0-alpha.2 (2024-11-08)

Welcome to the v1.9.0-alpha.2 release of Talos!
This is a pre-release of Talos

Please try out the release binaries and report any issues at
https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/issues.

AppArmor

Talos Linux starting with v1.9 will ship with SELinux LSM enabled by default.
If you need to use AppArmor LSM add the following to the machine configuration:

machine:
  install:
     extraKernelArgs:
      - -selinux
      - lsm=lockdown,capability,yama,apparmor,bpf
      - apparmor=1

Auditd

Talos Linux now starts a auditd service by default.
Logs can be read with talosctl logs auditd.

talosctl cgroups

The talosctl cgroups command has been added to the talosctl tool.
This command allows you to view the cgroup resource consumption and limits for a machine, e.g.
talosctl cgroups --preset memory.

udevd

Talos previously used udevd to provide udevd, now it uses systemd-udevd instead.

Component Updates

Linux: 6.6.59
containerd: 2.0.0
Flannel: 0.26.0
Kubernetes: 1.32.0-beta.0
runc: 1.2.1

Talos is built with Go 1.23.2.

User Namespaces

Talos Linux now supports running Kubernetes pods with user namespaces enabled.
Refer to the documentation for more information.
