  • Secrets - External Secrets with 1Password integration

Platform Services​

  • GitOps - Flux-based continuous deployment
  • Monitoring - Prometheus, Grafana, and AlertManager
  • Logging - Loki stack with S3 backend

Key Features​

  • Immutable Infrastructure: Talos Linux with API-driven management
  • GitOps-First: All deployments managed through Git
  • High Availability: 3-node control plane with distributed storage
  • Observability: Comprehensive monitoring and logging
  • Secure by Default: eBPF networking and encrypted storage
