Clustertool v1.0.0 Released

Clustertool has reached a major milestone with the release of version 1.0.0, moving out of its release candidate (RC) phase. The tool is designed to simplify the process of bootstrapping Talos clusters, offering users a quick and easy way to get started.

It comes pre-configured with essential Kubernetes components, including Cillium, MetalLB, and Longhorn, ensuring clusters are equipped with key functionalities right out of the box. Additionally, all charts required in our Quick Start guide come preinstalled.

Clustertool also includes a fully configured VS Code devcontainer that automatically installs all the necessary tools for managing and maintaining your Talos clusters. This addition is a significant time-saver for people setting up their environments.

Clustertool Release Candidate

ClusterTool Release Candidate Update

We are pleased to announce that ClusterTool has officially entered Release Candidate status. After extensive development and testing, the general configuration format is now considered stable, ensuring greater reliability and consistency moving forward.

In addition, we are excited to confirm that migration from TrueNAS Scale to your own Kubernetes cluster is now fully supported. This capability enables streamlined transitions, empowering users to harness the full potential of Kubernetes while maintaining their existing data and configurations.

At the bottom of this page (Talos Cluster Guide), you’ll find a helpful guide detailing how to create your talos cluster and migrate your SCALE Apps.

We appreciate your continued support as we move toward the final release and look forward to hearing your feedback during this phase.
