Omni

Omni is a fleet management service for provisioning, configuring, upgrading, and backing up Talos clusters across bare metal, edge, and cloud. Platform teams can use it as SaaS or self-host it, including in disconnected and air-gapped environments. It supports infrastructure such as KubeVirt, libvirt, vSphere, and Proxmox, as well as providers built by the team. Declarative templates keep clusters aligned with specified configurations. Fleet-wide Talos and Kubernetes upgrades include health checks, atomic updates per node, and automatic rollback on failure. Omni connects to nodes through WireGuard; KubeSpan can extend encryption across clusters and sites. Workload Proxy routes HTTP service traffic to a cluster through that tunnel using an identity-provider-gated URL. SAML or OIDC authentication, per-cluster roles, and change auditing are available through the UI or API. Hobby costs $10 per month for up to 10 nodes and 2 users; Startup costs $25 per node per month for up to 50 nodes and unlimited clusters. A 14-day trial requires no credit card.
