Amazon Linux vs Talos: What are the differences?

Developers describe Amazon Linux as "The Amazon Linux AMI is a supported and maintained Linux image provided by Amazon Web Services for use on Amazon EC2". The Amazon Linux AMI is a supported and maintained Linux image provided by Amazon Web Services for use on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). 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.

Amazon Linux and Talos can be primarily classified as "Operating Systems" tools.

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.
