The reason this is accelerating recently is agents are really good at spinning up k8s clusters. They've made devops work super super simple. Basically all the annoying stuff you know you should do but it's way too much hassle - using let's encrypt to create unique certs for every app in your cluster to enable zero trust, configuring permissions and security profiles for everything etc etc (never mind just standing them up in the first place) - it's all simple now.

The setup may be simple, but what about the maintenance?
And the troubleshooting?

Given the number of moving parts, I would be terrified to have to look under the hood of what Talos deployed for me.

I’ve found it to be excellent at troubleshooting- recently had a hardware incident and it diagnosed the problem and migrated my cluster to a new machine super fast. I just give the agent access to kubectl and I let it investigate bugs and it does an excellent job - I would say way better than it is at normal coding.
Anecdotal of course but I've found that they're excellent at debugging and analysing Kubernetes issues.
