My primary +focus has been contributing to open source projects within the Cloud Native +space, but I do not draw the line there and try to improve any and every part +of the stack involved in running containers. + +For the past year I have been lurking around the Confidential Containers +community, getting more actively involved since the beginning of this year. So +far, I have mostly been visible helping out with CoCo releases, as well as +fixing bugs and submitting improvements to CoCo/Kata tests/CI. You may also +have seen me answering questions on slack and helping others understand the +Kata design or debugging issues. + +Microsoft relies on Kata Containers in some of our product offerings, with more +to come. We sponsor both the Kata as well CoCo CI infrastructures. We are also +active in adjacent projects like Cloud Hypervisor. Our goal within the Kata +project is simple: contribute to making it more secure and suitable for an even +wider range of use cases. Part of this is taking our learnings from years of +running hardware isolated containers and confidential computing workloads in +production and contributing them to the project, in a way that benefits all +users. + +Joining the Kata Architecure Committee will give me a chance to better serve +the community. Kata is a very dynamic and friendly project, and I'd like to +contribute to that. I care about expanding the project test matrix and making +testing both faster and more reliable, so that it is easier for new +contributors to join the project. I also want to work within the AC to see if +we can reconcile some of the extensions that the community has built up around +Kata. + +Jeremi
