There's nothing related to Talos here, usually this error means that Cilium doesn't support arm64.

You'll want to specify "none" when selecting the CNI in your setup during Talos, then you'll want to use the Cilium v1.10+ which includes the arm64 image post this version. The exact values and steps I use are captured here if you wish to look @githubcdr https://github.com/xUnholy/k8s-gitops/tree/main/k8s/namespaces/base/kube-system/cilium/install

Just remember to change the respective values for IPs/CIDRs to your desired ones and you will have a working Cilium CNI running on Talos. 🙏

Thanks, will give it a try

Installing cilium works on Talos with following command;

helm install cilium cilium/cilium --set nodeinit.enabled=false --namespace kube-system

The node init process will fail with following error if installed vanilla;

nsenter: failed to execute sh: No such file or directory
