Talos 1.6.0-alpha.1 (2023-10-17)

Welcome to the v1.6.0-alpha.1 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.

Network Device Selectors

Previously, network device selectors only matched the first link, now the configuration is applied to all matching links.

Linux Firmware

Starting with Talos 1.6, there is no Linux firmware included in the initramfs.
Customers who need Linux firmware can pull them as extension during install time using the image factory service.
If the initial boot requires firmware, a custom iso can be built with the firmware included using the image factory service.
This also ensures that the linux-firmware is not tied to a specific Talos version.

KubePrism

KubePrism is enabled by default on port 7445.

talosctl CLI

The command images deprecated in Talos 1.5 was removed, please use talosctl images default instead.

Component Updates

Linux: 6.1.58
containerd: 1.7.7
CoreDNS: 1.11.1
Kubernetes: 1.29.0-alpha.2
Flannel: 0.22.3

Talos is built with Go 1.21.3.
