CloudLinux vs Talos: What are the differences?

Developers describe CloudLinux as "The super-platform for stability & efficiency in shared hosting". CloudLinux OS is designed for shared hosting providers. It isolates each customer into a separate “Lightweight Virtualized Environment” (LVE), which partitions, allocates, and limits server resources, like memory, CPU. On the other hand, Talos is detailed as "A modern Linux distribution for Kubernetes". You can imagine Talos as a container image, in that it is immutable and built with a single purpose in mind. In this case, that purpose is Kubernetes. Talos tightly integrates with Kubernetes, and is not meant to be a general use Linux distribution.

CloudLinux and Talos belong to "Operating Systems" category of the tech stack.

Talos is an open source tool with 1.23K GitHub stars and 55 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Talos's open source repository on GitHub.

Linux

A clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance.

CoreOS

It is designed for security, consistency, and reliability. Instead of installing packages via yum or apt, it uses Linux containers to manage your services at a higher level of abstraction. A single service's code and all dependencies are packaged within a container that can be run on one or many machines.
