I am running again as I am very interested in this project's success in +the ecosystem, and am focused on making sure Kata continues to be a production-ready solution for providing stronger container isolation. + +Over the last two years, I have served as a member of the Kata Containers architecture committee. As I stated last year, the project has +matured a lot, with expanding production usage and user-base. Even more so now, we have a lot of important changes this year: +Cloud Hypervisor VMM support, PodOverhead support in Kubernetes, cgroups-v2 support, cpuset support, rust-agent support, improved telemetry/observability, +virtio-fs support. Each of these are important improvements that make the project more attractive and viable for production use cases. + +We still have a lot of interesting work to do, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to the project.
