Talos gets a hypervisor, and Sidero Labs joins Yardi
Big news arrived for Talos Linux, a well-known Open Source operating system designed for Kubernetes. First, this project adds a hypervisor to run virtual machines. Interestingly, their solution is not based on KubeVirt. The authors say that requiring "Kubernetes just to run VMs" is an "unnecessary complexity", so they "brought native hypervisor capabilities into Talos Linux". It will be Open Source. Talos Hypervisor launch will take place during TalosCon 2026, which will be held on October 15-16 in Amsterdam.
Secondly, Sidero Labs, the commercial company behind Talos, joins Yardi. It's a US-based software business focused on the real estate industry, with 9,000+ employees across 40+ offices worldwide. As Sidero Labs outlines, it will continue to operate as a standalone company, and Talos Linux will remain fully Open Source under the same license (MPL 2.0).
