Kata

This is a simple guide to install and set up Kata Containers for docker and Kubernetes. For docker, kata-runtime command line is used as an alternative runtime. For Kubernetes, containerd with shimv2 capable Kata Containers is preferred. Kubernetes RuntimeClass is then used to enable users to run pods with Kata Containers. There exist different installation guides in each component but a complete guide on how to set things up from scrach is missing. The blog aims to provide a simple version of such a guide.

We were discussing kata containers network hotplug design, and I found a nice website to draw diagrams in a WYTIWYG (What You Think Is What You Get) style.

On Tuesday, June 26, I presented Kata containers in the LC3 (LinuxCon, ContainerCon, CloudOpen) China 2018 conference.
