> However, the API is based on the Principle of Least Privilege, and exposes only a limited set of methods.
> We aren't quite there yet, but we envision Talos being a great place for the application of [control theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_theory) in order to provide a self-healing platform.
**How is Talos different than CoreOS/RancherOS/Linuxkit?**
> Talos is similar in many ways, but there are some differences that make it unique.
> You can imagine Talos as a container image, in that it is immutable and built with a single purpose in mind.
> In this case, that purpose is Kubernetes.
> Talos tightly integrates with Kubernetes, and is not meant to be a general use Linux distribution.
> This allows us to dramatically decrease the footprint of Talos, and in turn improve a number of other areas like security, predictability, and reliability.
> In addition to this, interaction with the host is done through a secure gRPC API.
> If you want to run Kubernetes with zero cruft, Talos is the perect fit.
