GKE uses ChromeOS, weirded me out at first.

GKE runs Google's "Container Optimised" OS. It's just a bare-bones Linux designed for security and performance running containers, very similar to Talos.

Edit: Was wrong, thanks for the correction.

Ha. I even triple-checked this with a bunch of google searches to make sure I was right. Sorry about that!

That is strange. They aren't even some common base, CO-OS is literally based on Chromium OS.

Ssh into the nodes and poke around. Interesting FS layout, my typical probing commands didn't work and couldn't figure out the package manager or distro for a while, it was my firsr exposure to chromium os.

interesting factoids:

CoreOS was too based on Chrome OS!

And Chrome OS is related to Gentoo Linux.
