I have been involved with Kata Containers for about 3 years +now, as I started to work on what used to be Clear Containers before the +2.0 release. I was part of the small OSF-Hyper-Intel team that worked +together to merge Clear Containers and runV into what today is Kata +Containers. + +I deeply believe that Kata Containers is a key project for the cloud +native ecosystem. Thanks to an ever growing community effort, we moved +it from two diverging code bases to something that can now be deployed +at scale. In order to reach that state we built a very versatile software +architecture that can adapt to a large number of use cases. On one hand +this architecture really put hardware virtualized container runtimes in +the cloud native map, but on the other hand it added complexity and in +some cases technical debt to our project. With new specifications and +APIs (runtimeClass, containerd shim v2) truly taking vm based runtimes +into account, I think it's time for us to work on simplifying and +cleaning our feature bloat and push that into Kata Containers v2. +This is what I'd like to focus on for the next few months and this is +one of the main reason why I'd like to renew my seat at the +Architecture Committee.
