Funny: I've been running a Talos cluster for the past six months, and just today decided to look into k3s. Talos has a lot of really nice things, but I have found that the lack of shell access can be frustrating at times when trying to troubleshoot.

Curious, what have you run into that you couldn’t troubleshoot with a privileged pod with host networking?

[organsnyder]

I had a situation where the etcd cluster got hosed, making it basically impossible (at least with the ways I know) to interact with the k8s API at all. So I didn't have any way to get a privileged pod running.

Ah gotcha. Haven’t had to deal with that yet. Maybe possible to add a static pod via the machine config? But yeah it’s basically throwing out a bunch of linux admin muscle memory.
