-Caveat: This is a conditional candidacy, in case Archana does not reapply for
-the seat she was holding. 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.
