Can anybody help explain when organizations should use Talos instead of cloud-vendor-managed Kubernetes offerings (EKS/AKS/GKE)? Especially considering that the managed offerings now fit most regulatory requirements (e.g. EKS is FedRAMP-High Authorized)? Or does Talos see most of its use in on-prem environments?

1. Learning. I want to self host to learn the stack top to bottom.
2. Build your own service.
3. Why not? (probably the best, most hackerish option)

Standards that meet regulatory requirements may not be updated or secure enough to meet private sector needs.

For folks who are all in on a single cloud provider it might not make sense, but if you run Kubernetes in multiple clouds, on-premise, edge, etc. then it starts to make a lot of sense since you get consistency.
