# Overview #
|
||||
|
||||
`Kata Containers runtime` creates a Virtual Machine to isolate a set of
|
||||
container workloads. The Virtual Machine requires a operating system
|
||||
operating (`Guest OS`) to boot and create containers inside the guest
|
||||
environment.
|
||||
|
||||
This repository contains tools to create a `Guest OS` for `Kata
|
||||
Containers`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

||||
|
||||
- `Virtual disk` or `Guest Image`
|
||||
