My primary focus is container +infrastructure related technologies. + +I have been deeply engaged in Kata Containers since the start of the project, +both in development and community. I continue to be very interested in the +project and want to be part of the efforts to ensure its success. I have +served as a member of the Kata architecture committee. And I'm running again in +the new round of the architecture committee election. + +I have been an active contributor in the past in many different areas across the +runtime and the agent. I served as a member of the vulnerability management team, +the review team and the release management team. I also advocated the project in +various open source events, conferences and meetups. + +Within Ant Group, our team is responsible for the large scale Kata Containers +deployment in production. We have been pioneers in new features and new architectures +of Kata. We believe it is very important to bridge production requirements and +upstream development. We have been actively engaged in the upstream development +in the past, and will continue to do so in the future. + +Since its foundation, Kata Containers has matured quite a bit with an expanding +user-base. There are still a lot of exciting things to do. + +One area is better integration in the container ecosystem. It has been a goal of the +project since the very beginning. And the current focus is the improved integration +with CNI/CSI/CRI. We expect to have a more VM-friendly interfaces that will help to +improve our performance and efficiency. + +Another exciting thing is the integrated rust runtime. It continues to innovate +with cloud-native virtualization in mind and makes all Kata components work +tightly together, further reduce Kata's resource overhead and management complexity. + +Last but not least, the Confidential Containers support expands the Kata Containers +threat model from protecting the infrastructure to also protecting the workloads. +It is a very appealing direction and attracts a lot of community interests. + +Kata Containers 3.0 release is paving its way to be a real thing. These features +will certainly be important part of Kata 3.0. I look forward to continuing to +contribute and help the project thrive. + +-Tao
