I feel that we need a quorum in the AC, but I also +would be happy to accelerate things and have no vote if we have enough +candidates. + + +Background: + +I am the PO for OpenShift sandboxed containers at Red Hat, which uses Kata +Containers to make it easy to consume inside OpenShift. In that role, I have +been leading and coordinating the effort made by numerous contributors from Red +Hat in order to improve Kata Containers, its CI and its interaction with +components such as qemu, CRI-O or the kernel (e.g. SR-IOV). + +Over the recent years, I have created the initial Kata packages for Fedora, and +then focused on security and threat model, performance, scalability, +debuggability and testability. Among the process changes that happened with the +help of Ariel, I can mention a weekly "triage" meeting as well as the use of +GitHub "projects" to coordinate efforts such as Confidential Containers. + +For the future, I have a genuine interest in long-term evolutions of Kata, +including Confidential Containers, as well as a better API for communicating +with other components, which I recently renamed from "Sandbox API" to "Pod API" +to distinguish it from the containerd Sandbox API proposal. I really want to +address many CPU and I/O performance issues, as well as memory usage and general +scalability of Kata Containers. + +Since I started working on Kata Containers, I believe that I have rarely missed +an architecture committee meeting, despite not being officially on the +committee. That works fine with me: the architecture committee has always been +extremely open to external input. However, I feel that the Architecture +committee needs a quorum, and I am happy to fill the third seat that is up for +this election if Archana is not re-applying for her own seat. + +I really enjoy working with this community, and I look forward to keep +contributing, whether it's through the architecture committee or otherwise.
