TazLab Infrastructure Tech Stack

Scope

This is the second wiki trunk: the software and infrastructure technologies used to make TazLab work.

Current Synthesis

TazLab is built on a stack of infrastructure technologies that each solve a specific layer of the system:

• Proxmox provides the virtualized base where the active cluster runs

• Talos Linux provides the immutable Kubernetes host OS

• Tailscale provides private network connectivity and operator access

• MetalLB provides bare-metal LoadBalancer addresses

• Longhorn provides distributed block storage

• Kubernetes provides the reconciliation and workload model

• Terraform drives declarative provisioning where infrastructure needs repeatability

• HashiCorp Vault is the secret backend, serving all cluster secrets via ESO tazlab-secrets-vault ClusterSecretStore. Infisical is retained as a legacy fallback (empty credentials).
