Streamlined Storage for Talos
Optimized NVMe storage for Talos Linux environments
Simplyblock™ extends Talos with NVMe over TCP storage that’s lightweight, fast, and cloud-ready. Built to align with Talos’s API-driven design, simplyblock delivers persistent storage for Kubernetes workloads without adding complexity. Achieve stability, flexibility, and performance—without compromising Talos’s secure and immutable core.
🔹 Simplyblock™ Capabilities for Talos Linux
Fast Storage Nodes
Run storage services using Talos nodes using NVMe-TCP, delivering high performance without compromising the immutable node design.
Externalized Security Design
Support Talos’s minimal, locked-down surface by using external storage orchestration with encryption and access control managed via Kubernetes.
Scales Without Node Drift
Easily expand storage in sync with Kubernetes growth—no configuration drift, no image rebuilding, and no node access needed.
Works via CSI Integration
Simplyblock runs through CSI and declarative manifests, fitting right into your GitOps or automation pipelines and seamlessly integrates with Talos.
How Simplyblock™ Complements Talos
Storage that aligns with secure, declarative Kubernetes operations
Performance, Stability and Control
1. Persistent Speed Without Compromise
Access NVMe performance while keeping Talos nodes clean—simplyblock delivers fast storage without violating immutable infrastructure rules.
2. Multi-Zone Resilience for Stateful Apps
Use zone-aware erasure coding to protect data across Talos clusters without complex tooling or relying on in-node storage or network hacks.
Declarative Simplicity and Operational Fit
3. Fully GitOps-Compatible Deployment
Use Kubernetes manifests and CSI to deploy and manage storage declaratively. All adjustments to Talos storage nodes are fully declaritive.
4. Storage That Grows with the Cluster
As workloads scale, simplyblock expands storage capacity in sync.
Run Talos Smarter with Simplyblock™
Downtime-Free Cluster Changes
Simplyblock keeps storage online during node rotations, upgrades, or scaling—ideal for Talos’s lifecycle-driven, immutable operation.
NVMe Access Without OS Changes
Get NVMe-TCP performance without modifying Talos nodes—storage lives outside the OS, staying in line with Talos’s security-first design.
GitOps-Ready Storage Automation
Provision storage declaratively using Kubernetes-native methods—fully compatible with GitOps pipelines and Talos’s API-only control surface.
No Lock-In, No Complexity
Deploy on any infrastructure—bare metal, edge, or cloud. Simplyblock adapts to your setup without vendor constraints or operational bloat.
