Talos no longer supports creating a cluster automatically in a firecracker VM (which you can still do in docker, via `talosctl cluster create`) but you can certainly run Talos Linux in firecracker VMs and create a cluster that way.

Interesting. So Talos is both a Linux and a k8s distribution?

I am less interested in running k8s itself in Firecracker (or kata, or similar), but the pods started by it. I think there are advantages to that.

Talos (similar goals as bottlerocket) supports bare metal installs...
