The Talos web site describes Talos Linux as “secure, immutable, and minimal.” In this post, I’ll share how to use Pulumi to automate the creation of a Talos Linux cluster on AWS. This includes a VPC (and all the assorted other pieces, like subnets, gateways, routes, and route tables) and a load balancer.

This post is something of a “companion post” to the earlier AWS post; in this post, I’ll show you how to create a Talos Linux cluster on Azure with Pulumi. Next, it creates a load balancer, gets a public IP address for the load balancer, and creates the associated backend address pool, health probe, and load balancing rule.
