PROJECT TYPES

14 project types. One consistent workflow.

A project in Talos has a type, and the type decides which areas it gets: an AWS project gets inventory and stacks, a Proxy project gets routes and pools. Everything underneath is shared: the same queue, the same permissions, the same audit ledger. This page maps each type to the pages that describe it, and says plainly how proven each one is.

AWS

AWS
BUILT & TESTED

Accounts, every region’s inventory, EC2, S3, RDS, Route 53, ACM, monitoring, cost, Lambda, ECR and EKS, plus resource graph, posture checks, fleet operations and repository-driven Terraform.

Graph, posture, fleet operations and IaC run against a real sandbox account.

EC2 → ServerRDS → DatabaseECR → Docker registryEKS → Kubernetes

Azure

AZURE
BUILT & TESTED

Service-principal accounts, resource-group inventory, VMs, blob storage, stacks, Flexible Server, DNS, Monitor, cost, Functions and ACR.

VM → ServerFlexible Server → DatabaseACR → Docker registryAKS → Kubernetes

GCP

GCP
BUILT & TESTED

Service-account access, inventory, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, stacks, Cloud SQL, Cloud DNS, monitoring, billing-export cost, Cloud Functions and Artifact Registry.

Oracle

ORACLE
BUILT & TESTED

OCI compute, object storage, stacks, databases, DNS, cost, Functions, OCIR and OKE, plus the Fusion Applications estate: environments, refreshes, ESS jobs, SCIM and BI Publisher.

Instance → ServerDB system → DatabaseOCIR → Docker registryOKE → Kubernetes

Kubernetes

KUBERNETES
BUILT & TESTED

Clusters, namespaces, workloads, Helm releases and per-job credentials, whether self-run or bridged in from a cloud.

Hypervisor

HYPERVISOR
BETA

Proxmox and libvirt nodes, VMs, consoles, snapshots, clones, storage, ISOs, networks, backups and migrations.

Not yet run against a live Proxmox or libvirt host.

VM → Server

Proxy

PROXY
BETA

nginx and HAProxy routes and pools, traffic splitting, rate limits, access control, WAF, fail2ban, Squid egress and keepalived pairs.

Not yet run against a live nginx or HAProxy host.

Certificates ← DNS & SSLCanary traffic → MLOps serving

DNS & SSL

DNS_SSL
BETA

Zones and records across five clouds and self-hosted nameservers, domain expiry, ACME issuance and renewal, certificate deployment, DNSSEC, revocation and CT monitoring.

Not yet run against a real CA, registrar or nameserver.

Zones ← cloud accountsCertificates → Proxy and load balancers

Docker

DOCKER
PROVEN IN PRODUCTION

Compose stacks, registries, containers and environment, deployed with health gates and planned before they are applied.

MLOps

MLOPS
BETA

GPU fleet, model registry, training runs, gated promotion, canary serving, drift and cost.

Cloud GPU provisioning has not been run live.

Runs on Servers and KubernetesCanary via Proxy

MCP & Agents

MCP
BETA

MCP servers and hosted vendor connections, tool approval by hash, agents with enforced budgets, evaluations, and Talos exposed as an MCP server.

Not yet run against a live model provider or vendor consent screen.

Servers run on Docker

DB Manager

DATABASE
BUILT & TESTED

Database instances, query console, users, migrations, backups with point-in-time recovery, restore verification and replication.

Frappe

FRAPPE
PROVEN IN PRODUCTION

Bench environments, Frappe and ERPNext sites, custom apps, and site-level backup and restore.

SHARED BY EVERY TYPE

What you get whichever type you pick.

These are not project types of their own. They sit underneath all 14, which is why managing an EKS cluster and a Frappe site feels like the same product.

Servers & discovery

Hosts added over SSH and discovered read-only, for any project that uses them.

Jobs & the audit ledger

Every action runs as a queued, retryable job with live logs and a record of who ran it.

Pipelines & gates

Multi-stage pipelines and two-person approval before anything irreversible.

Monitoring & dashboards

Health checks, alerts, live logs, and a dashboard built for each type.

Permissions

Role-based access with permissions scoped to named resources.

AI Engine

An AI assistant that reads the fleet and proposes changes for your approval.

Start with whichever type you run today.

Install it on a host you already have. Every type connects read-only first.
