Talos Linux v1.14.0 released on 03-09-2026
Talos Linux v1.14.0 is out now. It delivers native BGP via embedded GoBGP instances, stronger DNS and time privacy (DoT/DoH and NTS), and a substantial set of storage, CRI and workload-isolation improvements that matter for host and cluster operators.
Find binaries, full release notes and the issue tracker on the project GitHub release page for v1.14.0.
What’s in this release
- Native BGP with embedded GoBGP servers: repeatable, named BGPInstanceConfig documents, isolated per-instance RIBs, support for numbered and unnumbered peering (including IPv6 link‑local and RFC‑8950 cross‑family next‑hops), ECMP/multipath next‑hops, per‑neighbor hold‑time and BFD settings, importRoutes selectors and an installRoutes flag to control automatic route installation.
- Secure DNS, time and probes: DNS over TLS (DoT) and DNS over HTTPS (DoH) configurable per nameserver in ResolverConfig; DHCPv4 now applies search domains and supports ignoreRoutes; Host DNS forwarding moved into ResolverConfig; Network Time Security (NTS) is enabled by default for time.cloudflare.com and TimeServerConfig.useNTS is configurable; adds HTTP probes (HTTP 200–399 treated as success).
- Storage and filesystem controls: btrfs support for user and existing volumes, declarative LVM (LVMLogicalVolumeConfig and LVMVolumeGroupConfig) with status resources and talosctl wipe lv/vg/pv, RAIDArrayConfig with additive reconciliation and bootable RAID1 metadata 1.0, FilesystemTrimConfig for scheduled fstrim, XFS tuning (minAllocationGroupSize) and xfs_scrub support, plus dedicated system volumes for ETCD/CRI/KUBELET/LOG.
Upgrade notes
- etcd compatibility and networking: Talos now targets etcd v3.6.x only (default bumped to 3.7.0+). etcd serves HTTP endpoints (metrics, health, gRPC‑gateway) on port 2383 while 2379 is gRPC‑only — update scrapes and firewalls to use 2383.
- If you need to undo storage changes, Talos provides metadata wipe commands: use talosctl wipe lv/vg/pv for LVM and talosctl wipe md <device> for MD RAID devices.
If you try v1.14.0, please share how it behaves for you — file issues on GitHub or report peer observations through the Talos community channels.
