Omni 1.5.0-beta.0 (2026-01-23)

Welcome to the v1.5.0-beta.0 release of Omni!
This is a pre-release of Omni

Please try out the release binaries and report any issues at
https://github.com/siderolabs/omni/issues.

Better Audit Logging

Omni now collects audit logs for operations performed on all user-managed resources, improving security and traceability.

Config Generation

Omni can now generate its own configuration directly from the defined schema.
The config merge algorithms were also improved: now the config preserves the default values properly when some sections are
overwritten by the user provided config.

Etcd Maintenance

The following etcd commands are now usable with Omni managed clusters:
talosctl etcd downgrade validate
talosctl etcd downgrade enable
talosctl etcd downgrade cancel
talosctl etcd forfeit leadership

gRPC Tunnel Management

Added the ability to switch gRPC tunnel modes for connected machines.

Join Token Management

Added a dedicated omnictl jointoken omni-endpoint to streamline node registration.

Kernel Args CLI Tools

Added support for managing kernel arguments directly within cluster templates.

Schema-Aware Code Editor

The built-in code editor for the machine configs now supports different configuration schemas for each Talos version.
So the config will be always validated against the currently running Talos version schema.

omnictl Directory Support

The omnictl sync/apply can now process directories, simplifying bulk resource applications.
