-## License
-
-The code is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.
-See [the license file](LICENSE) for further details.
-
-## Platform support
-
-Kata Containers currently runs on 64-bit systems supporting the following
-technologies:
-
-| Architecture | Virtualization technology |
-|-|-|
-| `x86_64`, `amd64` | [Intel](https://www.intel.com) VT-x, AMD SVM |
-| `aarch64` ("`arm64`")| [ARM](https://www.arm.com) Hyp |
-| `ppc64le` | [IBM](https://www.ibm.com) Power |
-| `s390x` | [IBM](https://www.ibm.com) Z & LinuxONE SIE |
-
-### Hardware requirements
-
-The [Kata Containers runtime](src/runtime) provides a command to
-determine if your host system is capable of running and creating a
-Kata Container:
-
-```bash
-$ kata-runtime check
-```
-
-> **Notes:**
->
-> - This command runs a number of checks including connecting to the
->   network to determine if a newer release of Kata Containers is
->   available on GitHub. If you do not wish this to check to run, add
->   the `--no-network-checks` option.
->
-> - By default, only a brief success / failure message is printed.
->   If more details are needed, the `--verbose` flag can be used to display the
->   list of all the checks performed.
->
-> - If the command is run as the `root` user additional checks are
->   run (including checking if another incompatible hypervisor is running).
->   When running as `root`, network checks are automatically disabled.
-
 ## Getting started
 
 See the [installation documentation](docs/install).
 
 ## Documentation

-Host network (`nerdctl/docker run --net=host`or [Kubernetes `HostNetwork`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/workload-resources/pod-v1/#hosts-namespaces)) is not supported.
+The newest version of Docker supported is specified by the
+`externals.docker.version` variable in the
+[versions database](https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/blob/master/versions.yaml).
+
+Basic Docker swarm support works. However, if you want to use custom networks
+with Docker's swarm, an older version of Docker is required. This is specified
+by the `externals.docker.meta.swarm-version` variable in the
+[versions database](https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/blob/master/versions.yaml).
+
+See issue https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/issues/175 for more information.
+
+Docker compose normally uses custom networks, so also has the same limitations.
+
+## Resource management
+
+Due to the way VMs differ in their CPU and memory allocation, and sharing
+across the host system, the implementation of an equivalent method for
+these commands is potentially challenging.
+
+See issue https://github.com/clearcontainers/runtime/issues/341 and [the constraints challenge](#the-constraints-challenge) for more information.
+
+For CPUs resource management see
+[CPU constraints](design/vcpu-handling.md).
+
+### docker run and shared memory
+
+The runtime does not implement the `docker run --shm-size` command to
+set the size of the `/dev/shm tmpfs` within the container. It is possible to pass this configuration value into the VM container so the appropriate mount command happens at launch time.
+
+See issue https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/21 for more information.
+
+### docker run and sysctl
+
+The `docker run --sysctl` feature is not implemented. At the runtime
+level, this equates to the `linux.sysctl` OCI configuration. Docker
+allows configuring the sysctl settings that support namespacing. From a security and isolation point of view, it might make sense to set them in the VM, which isolates sysctl settings. Also, given that each Kata Container has its own kernel, we can support setting of sysctl settings that are not namespaced. In some cases, we might need to support configuring some of the settings on both the host side Kata Container namespace and the Kata Containers kernel.
+
+See issue https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/issues/185 for more information.
+
+## Docker daemon features
+
+Some features enabled or implemented via the
+[`dockerd` daemon](https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/) configuration are not yet
+implemented.
+
+### SELinux support
+
+The `dockerd` configuration option `"selinux-enabled": true` is not presently implemented
+in Kata Containers. Enabling this option causes an OCI runtime error.
+
+See issue https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/issues/784 for more information.
+
+The consequence of this is that the [Docker --security-opt is only partially supported](#docker---security-opt-option-partially-supported).

-# Unit Test Advice
-
-## Overview
-
-This document offers advice on writing a Unit Test (UT) in
-[Golang](https://golang.org) and [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org).
-
-## General advice
-
-### Unit test strategies
-
-#### Positive and negative tests
-
-Always add positive tests (where success is expected) *and* negative
-tests (where failure is expected).
-
-#### Boundary condition tests
-
-Try to add unit tests that exercise boundary conditions such as:
-
-- Missing values (`null` or `None`).
-- Empty strings and huge strings.
-- Empty (or uninitialised) complex data structures
-  (such as lists, vectors and hash tables).
-- Common numeric values (such as `-1`, `0`, `1` and the minimum and
-  maximum values).
-
-#### Test unusual values
-
-Also always consider "unusual" input values such as:
-
-- String values containing spaces, Unicode characters, special
-  characters, escaped characters or null bytes.
-
-  > **Note:** Consider these unusual values in prefix, infix and
-  > suffix position.
-
-- String values that cannot be converted into numeric values or which
-  contain invalid structured data (such as invalid JSON).
-
-#### Other types of tests
-
-If the code requires other forms of testing (such as stress testing,
-fuzz testing and integration testing), raise a GitHub issue and
-reference it on the issue you are using for the main work. This
-ensures the test team are aware that a new test is required.
-
-### Test environment
-
-#### Create unique files and directories
-
-Ensure your tests do not write to a fixed file or directory. This can
-cause problems when running multiple tests simultaneously and also
-when running tests after a previous test run failure.
-
-#### Assume parallel testing
-
-Always assume your tests will be run *in parallel*. If this is
-problematic for a test, force it to run in isolation using the
-`serial_test` crate for Rust code for example.
-
-### Running
-
-Ensure you run the unit tests and they all pass before raising a PR.
-Ideally do this on different distributions on different architectures
-to maximise coverage (and so minimise surprises when your code runs in
-the CI).
-
-## Assertions
-
-### Golang assertions
-
-Use the `testify` assertions package to create a new assertion object as this
-keeps the test code free from distracting `if` tests:
-
-```go
-func TestSomething(t *testing.T) {
-    assert := assert.New(t)
-
-    err := doSomething()
-    assert.NoError(err)
-}
-```
-
-### Rust assertions
-
-Use the standard set of `assert!()` macros.
-
-## Table driven tests
-
-Try to write tests using a table-based approach. This allows you to distill
-the logic into a compact table (rather than spreading the tests across
-multiple test functions). It also makes it easy to cover all the
-interesting boundary conditions:
-
-### Golang table driven tests
-
-Assume the following function:
-
-```go
-// The function under test.
-//
-// Accepts a string and an integer and returns the
-// result of sticking them together separated by a dash as a string.
-func joinParamsWithDash(str string, num int) (string, error) {
-    if str == "" {
-        return "", errors.New("string cannot be blank")
-    }
-
-    if num <= 0 {
-        return "", errors.New("number must be positive")
-    }
-
-    return fmt.Sprintf("%s-%d", str, num), nil
-}
-```
-
-A table driven approach to testing it:
-
-```go
-import (
-    "testing"
-    "github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"
-)
-
-func TestJoinParamsWithDash(t *testing.T) {
-    assert := assert.New(t)
-
-    // Type used to hold function parameters and expected results.
-    type testData struct {
-        param1         string
-        param2         int
-        expectedResult string
-        expectError    bool
-    }
-
-    // List of tests to run including the expected results
-    data := []testData{
-        // Failure scenarios
-        {"", -1, "", true},
-        {"", 0, "", true},
-        {"", 1, "", true},
-        {"foo", 0, "", true},
-        {"foo", -1, "", true},
-
-        // Success scenarios
-        {"foo", 1, "foo-1", false},
-        {"bar", 42, "bar-42", false},
-    }
-
-    // Run the tests
-    for i, d := range data {
-        // Create a test-specific string that is added to each assert
-        // call. It will be displayed if any assert test fails.
-        msg := fmt.Sprintf("test[%d]: %+v", i, d)
-
-        // Call the function under test
-        result, err := joinParamsWithDash(d.param1, d.param2)
-
-        // update the message for more information on failure
-        msg = fmt.Sprintf("%s, result: %q, err: %v", msg, result, err)
-
-        if d.expectError {
-            assert.Error(err, msg)
-
-            // If an error is expected, there is no point
-            // performing additional checks.
-            continue
-        }
-
-        assert.NoError(err, msg)
-        assert.Equal(d.expectedResult, result, msg)
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Rust table driven tests
-
-Assume the following function:
-
-```rust
-// Convenience type to allow Result return types to only specify the type
-// for the true case; failures are specified as static strings.
-// XXX: This is an example. In real code use the "anyhow" and
-// XXX: "thiserror" crates.
-pub type Result<T> = std::result::Result<T, &'static str>;
-
-// The function under test.
-//
-// Accepts a string and an integer and returns the
-// result of sticking them together separated by a dash as a string.
-fn join_params_with_dash(str: &str, num: i32) -> Result<String> {
-    if str.is_empty() {
-        return Err("string cannot be blank");
-    }
-
-    if num <= 0 {
-        return Err("number must be positive");
-    }
-
-    let result = format!("{}-{}", str, num);
-
-    Ok(result)
-}
-
-```
-
-A table driven approach to testing it:
-
-```rust
-#[cfg(test)]
-mod tests {
-    use super::*;
-
-    #[test]
-    fn test_join_params_with_dash() {
-        // This is a type used to record all details of the inputs
-        // and outputs of the function under test.
-        #[derive(Debug)]
-        struct TestData<'a> {
-            str: &'a str,
-            num: i32,
-            result: Result<String>,
-        }
-
-        // The tests can now be specified as a set of inputs and outputs

-            // Failure scenarios
-            TestData {
-                str: "",

-        ];
-
-        // Run the tests
-        for (i, d) in tests.iter().enumerate() {

-            assert!(actual_error == expected_error, msg);
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Temporary files
-
-Use `t.TempDir()` to create temporary directory. The directory created by
-`t.TempDir()` is automatically removed when the test and all its subtests
-complete.
-
-### Golang temporary files
-
-```go
-func TestSomething(t *testing.T) {
-    assert := assert.New(t)
-
-    // Create a temporary directory
-    tmpdir := t.TempDir()
-
-    // Add test logic that will use the tmpdir here...
-}
-```
-
-### Rust temporary files
-
-Use the `tempfile` crate which allows files and directories to be deleted
-automatically:
-
-```rust
-#[cfg(test)]
-mod tests {
-    use tempfile::tempdir;
-
-    #[test]
-    fn test_something() {
-
-        // Create a temporary directory (which will be deleted automatically
-        let dir = tempdir().expect("failed to create tmpdir");
-
-        let filename = dir.path().join("file.txt");
-
-        // create filename ...
-    }
-}
-
-```
-
-## Test user
-
-[Unit tests are run *twice*](../src/runtime/go-test.sh):
-
-- as the current user
-- as the `root` user (if different to the current user)
-
-When writing a test consider which user should run it; even if the code the
-test is exercising runs as `root`, it may be necessary to *only* run the test
-as a non-`root` for the test to be meaningful. Add appropriate skip
-guards around code that requires `root` and non-`root` so that the test
-will run if the correct type of user is detected and skipped if not.
-
-### Run Golang tests as a different user
-
-The main repository has the most comprehensive set of skip abilities. See:
-
-- [`katatestutils`](../src/runtime/pkg/katatestutils)
-
-### Run Rust tests as a different user
-
-One method is to use the `nix` crate along with some custom macros:
-
-```rust
-#[cfg(test)]
-mod tests {
-    #[allow(unused_macros)]
-    macro_rules! skip_if_root {
-        () => {
-            if nix::unistd::Uid::effective().is_root() {
-                println!("INFO: skipping {} which needs non-root", module_path!());
-                return;
-            }
-        };
-    }
-
-    #[allow(unused_macros)]
-    macro_rules! skip_if_not_root {
-        () => {
-            if !nix::unistd::Uid::effective().is_root() {
-                println!("INFO: skipping {} which needs root", module_path!());
-                return;
-            }
-        };
-    }
-
-    #[test]
-    fn test_that_must_be_run_as_root() {
-        // Not running as the superuser, so skip.
-        skip_if_not_root!();
-
-        // Run test *iff* the user running the test is root
-
-        // ...
-    }
-}

-# Code PR Advice
-
-Before raising a PR containing code changes, we suggest you consider
-the following to ensure a smooth and fast process.
-
-> **Note:**
->
-> - All the advice in this document is optional. However, if the
->   advice provided is not followed, there is no guarantee your PR
->   will be merged.
->
-> - All the check tools will be run automatically on your PR by the CI.
->   However, if you run them locally first, there is a much better
->   chance of a successful initial CI run.
-
-## Assumptions
-
-This document assumes you have already read (and in the case of the
-code of conduct agreed to):
-
-- The [Kata Containers code of conduct](https://github.com/kata-containers/community/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
-- The [Kata Containers contributing guide](https://github.com/kata-containers/community/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).
-
-## Code
-
-### Architectures
-
-Do not write architecture-specific code if it is possible to write the
-code generically.
-
-### General advice
-
-- Do not write code to impress: instead write code that is easy to read and understand.
-
-- Always consider which user will run the code. Try to minimise
-  the privileges the code requires.
-
-### Comments
-
-Always add comments if the intent of the code is not obvious. However,
-try to avoid comments if the code could be made clearer (for example
-by using more meaningful variable names).
-
-### Constants
-
-Don't embed magic numbers and strings in functions, particularly if
-they are used repeatedly.
-
-Create constants at the top of the file instead.
-
-### Copyright and license
-
-Ensure all new files contain a copyright statement and an SPDX license
-identifier in the comments at the top of the file.
-
-### FIXME and TODO
-
-If the code contains areas that are not fully implemented, make this
-clear a comment which provides a link to a GitHub issue that provides
-further information.
-
-Do not just rely on comments in this case though: if possible, return
-a "`BUG: feature X not implemented see {bug-url}`" type error.
-
-### Functions
-
-- Keep functions relatively short (less than 100 lines is a good "rule of thumb").
-
-- Document functions if the parameters, return value or general intent
-  of the function is not obvious.
-
-- Always return errors where possible.
-
-  Do not discard error return values from the functions this function
-  calls.
-
-### Logging
-
-- Don't use multiple log calls when a single log call could be used.
-
-- Use structured logging where possible to allow
-  [standard tooling](../src/tools/log-parser)
-  be able to extract the log fields.
-
-### Names
-
-Give functions, macros and variables clear and meaningful names.
-
-### Structures
-
-#### Golang structures
-
-Unlike Rust, Go does not enforce that all structure members be set.
-This has lead to numerous bugs in the past where code like the
-following is used:
-
-```go
-type Foo struct {
-    Key   string
-    Value string
-}
-
-// BUG: Key not set, but nobody noticed! ;(
-let foo1 = Foo {
-    Value: "foo",
-}
-```
-
-A much safer approach is to create a constructor function to enforce
-integrity:
-
-```go
-type Foo struct {
-    Key   string
-    Value string
-}
-
-func NewFoo(key, value string) (*Foo, error) {
-    if key == "" {
-        return nil, errors.New("Foo needs a key")
-    }
-
-    if value == "" {
-        return nil, errors.New("Foo needs a value")
-    }
-
-    return &Foo{
-        Key:   key,
-        Value: value,
-    }, nil
-}
-
-func testFoo() error {
-    // BUG: Key not set, but nobody noticed! ;(
-    badFoo := Foo{Value: "value"}
-
-    // Ok - the constructor performs needed validation
-    goodFoo, err := NewFoo("name", "value")
-    if err != nil {
-        return err
-    }
-
-    return nil
-```
-
-> **Note:**
->
-> The above is just an example. The *safest* approach would be to move
-> `NewFoo()` into a separate package and make `Foo` and it's elements
-> private. The compiler would then enforce the use of the constructor
-> to guarantee correctly defined objects.
-
-
-### Tracing
-
-Consider if the code needs to create a new
-[trace span](./tracing.md).
-
-Ensure any new trace spans added to the code are completed.
-
-## Tests
-
-### Unit tests
-
-Where possible, code changes should be accompanied by unit tests.
-
-Consider using the standard
-[table-based approach](Unit-Test-Advice.md)
-as it encourages you to make functions small and simple, and also
-allows you to think about what types of value to test.
-
-### Other categories of test
-
-Raised a GitHub issue in the
-[`tests`](https://github.com/kata-containers/tests) repository that
-explains what sort of test is required along with as much detail as
-possible. Ensure the original issue is referenced on the `tests` issue.
-
-### Unsafe code
-
-#### Rust language specifics
-
-Minimise the use of `unsafe` blocks in Rust code and since it is
-potentially dangerous always write [unit tests][#unit-tests]
-for this code where possible.
-
-`expect()` and `unwrap()` will cause the code to panic on error.
-Prefer to return a `Result` on error rather than using these calls to
-allow the caller to deal with the error condition.
-
-The table below lists the small number of cases where use of
-`expect()` and `unwrap()` are permitted:
-
-| Area | Rationale for permitting |
-|-|-|
-| In test code (the `tests` module) | Panics will cause the test to fail, which is desirable. |
-| `lazy_static!()` | This magic macro cannot "return" a value as it runs before `main()`. |
-| `defer!()` | Similar to golang's `defer()` but doesn't allow the use of `?`. |
-| `tokio::spawn(async move {})` | Cannot currently return a `Result` from an `async move` closure. |
-| If an explicit test is performed before the `unwrap()` / `expect()` | *"Just about acceptable"*, but not ideal `[*]` |
-| `Mutex.lock()` | Almost unrecoverable if failed in the lock acquisition |
-
-
-`[*]` - There can lead to bad *future* code: consider what would
-happen if the explicit test gets dropped in the future. This is easier
-to happen if the test and the extraction of the value are two separate
-operations. In summary, this strategy can introduce an insidious
-maintenance issue.

 memory that could have been used to host more PODs. When we talk about density
 each kilobyte matters and it might be the decisive factor between run another

+POD or not. For example if you have 500 PODs running in a server, the same

+2250MB of RAM. Before making the decision not to use VSOCKs, you should ask
 yourself, how many more containers can run with the memory RAM consumed by the
 Kata proxies?
 
 ### Reliability
 
+[`kata-proxy`][3] is in charge of multiplexing the connections between virtual
+machine and host processes, if it dies all connections get broken. For example
+if you have a [POD][2] with 10 containers running, if `kata-proxy` dies it would
+be impossible to contact your containers, though they would still be running.
 Since communication via VSOCKs is direct, the only way to lose communication
 with the containers is if the VM itself or the `containerd-shim-kata-v2` dies, if this happens
 the containers are removed automatically.

-# Systemd Cgroup for Agent

-As we know, we can interact with cgroups in two ways, **`cgroupfs`** and **`systemd`**. The former is achieved by reading and writing cgroup `tmpfs` files under `/sys/fs/cgroup` while the latter is done by configuring a transient unit by requesting systemd. Kata agent uses **`cgroupfs`** by default, unless you pass the parameter `--systemd-cgroup`.

-For systemd, kata agent configures cgroups according to the following `linux.cgroupsPath` format standard provided by `runc` (`[slice]:[prefix]:[name]`). If you don't provide a valid `linux.cgroupsPath`, kata agent will treat it as `"system.slice:kata_agent:<container-id>"`. 
-
-> Here slice is a systemd slice under which the container is placed. If empty, it defaults to system.slice, except when cgroup v2 is used and rootless container is created, in which case it defaults to user.slice.
->
-> Note that slice can contain dashes to denote a sub-slice (e.g. user-1000.slice is a correct notation, meaning a `subslice` of user.slice), but it must not contain slashes (e.g. user.slice/user-1000.slice is invalid).
->
-> A slice of `-` represents a root slice.
->
-> Next, prefix and name are used to compose the unit name, which is `<prefix>-<name>.scope`, unless name has `.slice` suffix, in which case prefix is ignored and the name is used as is.
-
-## supported properties
-
-The kata agent will translate the parameters in the `linux.resources` of `config.json` into systemd unit properties, and send it to systemd for configuration. Since systemd supports limited properties, only the following parameters in `linux.resources` will be applied. We will simply treat hybrid mode as legacy mode by the way.

-## Systemd Interface
-
-`session.rs` and `system.rs` in `src/agent/rustjail/src/cgroups/systemd/interface` are automatically generated by `zbus-xmlgen`, which is is an accompanying tool provided by `zbus` to generate Rust code from `D-Bus XML interface descriptions`. The specific commands to generate these two files are as follows: 
-
-```shell
-// system.rs
-zbus-xmlgen --system org.freedesktop.systemd1 /org/freedesktop/systemd1
-// session.rs
-zbus-xmlgen --session org.freedesktop.systemd1 /org/freedesktop/systemd1
-```
-
-The current implementation of `cgroups/systemd` uses `system.rs` while `session.rs` could be used to build rootless containers in the future.

+# Kata Containers Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+This is an architectural overview of Kata Containers, based on the 2.0 release.
+
+The primary deliverable of the Kata Containers project is a CRI friendly shim. There is also a CRI friendly library API behind them.
+
+The [Kata Containers runtime](../../src/runtime)
+is compatible with the [OCI](https://github.com/opencontainers) [runtime specification](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec)
+and therefore works seamlessly with the [Kubernetes\* Container Runtime Interface (CRI)](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-node/container-runtime-interface.md)
+through the [CRI-O\*](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o) and
+[Containerd\*](https://github.com/containerd/containerd) implementation.
+
+Kata Containers creates a QEMU\*/KVM virtual machine for pod that `kubelet` (Kubernetes) creates respectively.
+
+The [`containerd-shim-kata-v2` (shown as `shimv2` from this point onwards)](../../src/runtime/containerd-shim-v2) 
+is the Kata Containers entrypoint, which
+implements the [Containerd Runtime V2 (Shim API)](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/tree/master/runtime/v2) for Kata.
+
+Before `shimv2` (as done in [Kata Containers 1.x releases](https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/releases)), we need to create a `containerd-shim` and a [`kata-shim`](https://github.com/kata-containers/shim) for each container and the Pod sandbox itself, plus an optional [`kata-proxy`](https://github.com/kata-containers/proxy) when VSOCK is not available. With `shimv2`, Kubernetes can launch Pod and OCI compatible containers with one shim (the `shimv2`) per Pod instead of `2N+1` shims, and no standalone `kata-proxy` process even if no VSOCK is available.
+
+![Kubernetes integration with shimv2](arch-images/shimv2.svg)
+
+The container process is then spawned by
+[`kata-agent`](../../src/agent), an agent process running
+as a daemon inside the virtual machine. `kata-agent` runs a [`ttRPC`](https://github.com/containerd/ttrpc-rust) server in
+the guest using a VIRTIO serial or VSOCK interface which QEMU exposes as a socket
+file on the host. `shimv2` uses a `ttRPC` protocol to communicate with
+the agent. This protocol allows the runtime to send container management
+commands to the agent. The protocol is also used to carry the I/O streams (stdout,
+stderr, stdin) between the containers and the manage engines (e.g. CRI-O or containerd).
+
+For any given container, both the init process and all potentially executed
+commands within that container, together with their related I/O streams, need
+to go through the VSOCK interface exported by QEMU.
+
+The container workload, that is, the actual OCI bundle rootfs, is exported from the
+host to the virtual machine.  In the case where a block-based graph driver is
+configured, `virtio-scsi` will be used. In all other cases a `virtio-fs` VIRTIO mount point
+will be used. `kata-agent` uses this mount point as the root filesystem for the
+container processes.
+
+## Virtualization
+
+How Kata Containers maps container concepts to virtual machine technologies, and how this is realized in the multiple
+hypervisors and VMMs that Kata supports is described within the [virtualization documentation](./virtualization.md)
+
+## Guest assets
+
+The hypervisor will launch a virtual machine which includes a minimal guest kernel
+and a guest image.
+
+### Guest kernel
+
+The guest kernel is passed to the hypervisor and used to boot the virtual
+machine. The default kernel provided in Kata Containers is highly optimized for
+kernel boot time and minimal memory footprint, providing only those services
+required by a container workload. This is based on a very current upstream Linux
+kernel.
+
+### Guest image
+
+Kata Containers supports both an `initrd` and `rootfs` based minimal guest image.
+
+#### Root filesystem image
+
+The default packaged root filesystem image, sometimes referred to as the "mini O/S", is a
+highly optimized container bootstrap system based on [Clear Linux](https://clearlinux.org/). It provides an extremely minimal environment and
+has a highly optimized boot path.
+
+The only services running in the context of the mini O/S are the init daemon
+(`systemd`) and the [Agent](#agent). The real workload the user wishes to run
+is created using libcontainer, creating a container in the same manner that is done
+by `runc`.
+
+For example, when `ctr run -ti ubuntu date` is run:
+
+- The hypervisor will boot the mini-OS image using the guest kernel.
+- `systemd`, running inside the mini-OS context, will launch the `kata-agent` in
+  the same context.
+- The agent will create a new confined context to run the specified command in
+  (`date` in this example).
+- The agent will then execute the command (`date` in this example) inside this
+  new context, first setting the root filesystem to the expected Ubuntu\* root
+  filesystem.
+
+#### Initrd image
+
+A compressed `cpio(1)` archive, created from a rootfs which is loaded into memory and used as part of the Linux startup process. During startup, the kernel unpacks it into a special instance of a `tmpfs` that becomes the initial root filesystem.
+
+The only service running in the context of the initrd is the [Agent](#agent) as the init daemon. The real workload the user wishes to run is created using libcontainer, creating a container in the same manner that is done by `runc`.
+
+## Agent
+
+[`kata-agent`](../../src/agent) is a process running in the guest as a supervisor for managing containers and processes running within those containers.
+
+For the 2.0 release, the `kata-agent` is rewritten in the [RUST programming language](https://www.rust-lang.org/) so that we can minimize its memory footprint while keeping the memory safety of the original GO version of [`kata-agent` used in Kata Container 1.x](https://github.com/kata-containers/agent). This memory footprint reduction is pretty impressive, from tens of megabytes down to less than 100 kilobytes, enabling Kata Containers in more use cases like functional computing and edge computing.
+
+The `kata-agent` execution unit is the sandbox. A `kata-agent` sandbox is a container sandbox defined by a set of namespaces (NS, UTS, IPC and PID). `shimv2` can
+run several containers per VM to support container engines that require multiple
+containers running inside a pod.
+
+`kata-agent` communicates with the other Kata components over `ttRPC`.
+
+## Runtime
+
+`containerd-shim-kata-v2` is a [containerd runtime shimv2](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/v1.4.1/runtime/v2/README.md) implementation and is responsible for handling the `runtime v2 shim APIs`, which is similar to [the OCI runtime specification](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec) but simplifies the architecture by loading the runtime once and making RPC calls to handle the various container lifecycle commands. This refinement is an improvement on the OCI specification which requires the container manager call the runtime binary multiple times, at least once for each lifecycle command.
+
+`containerd-shim-kata-v2` heavily utilizes the
+[virtcontainers package](../../src/runtime/virtcontainers/), which provides a generic, runtime-specification agnostic, hardware-virtualized containers library.
+
+### Configuration
+
+The runtime uses a TOML format configuration file called `configuration.toml`. By default this file is installed in the `/usr/share/defaults/kata-containers` directory and contains various settings such as the paths to the hypervisor, the guest kernel and the mini-OS image.
+
+The actual configuration file paths can be determined by running:
+```
+$ kata-runtime --show-default-config-paths
+```
+Most users will not need to modify the configuration file.
+
+The file is well commented and provides a few "knobs" that can be used to modify the behavior of the runtime and your chosen hypervisor.
+
+The configuration file is also used to enable runtime [debug output](../Developer-Guide.md#enable-full-debug).
+
+## Networking
+
+Containers will typically live in their own, possibly shared, networking namespace.
+At some point in a container lifecycle, container engines will set up that namespace
+to add the container to a network which is isolated from the host network, but
+which is shared between containers
+
+In order to do so, container engines will usually add one end of a virtual
+ethernet (`veth`) pair into the container networking namespace. The other end of
+the `veth` pair is added to the host networking namespace.
+
+This is a very namespace-centric approach as many hypervisors/VMMs cannot handle `veth` 
+interfaces. Typically, `TAP` interfaces are created for VM connectivity.
+
+To overcome incompatibility between typical container engines expectations
+and virtual machines, Kata Containers networking transparently connects `veth`
+interfaces with `TAP` ones using Traffic Control:
+
+![Kata Containers networking](arch-images/network.png)
+
+With a TC filter in place, a redirection is created between the container network and the
+virtual machine. As an example, the CNI may create a device, `eth0`, in the container's network
+namespace, which is a VETH device. Kata Containers will create a tap device for the VM, `tap0_kata`,
+and setup a TC redirection filter to mirror traffic from `eth0`'s ingress to `tap0_kata`'s egress,
+and a second to mirror traffic from `tap0_kata`'s ingress to `eth0`'s egress.
+
+Kata Containers maintains support for MACVTAP, which was an earlier implementation used in Kata. TC-filter
+is the default because it allows for simpler configuration, better CNI plugin compatibility, and performance
+on par with MACVTAP.
+
+Kata Containers has deprecated support for bridge due to lacking performance relative to TC-filter and MACVTAP.
+
+ Kata Containers supports both
+[CNM](https://github.com/docker/libnetwork/blob/master/docs/design.md#the-container-network-model)
+and [CNI](https://github.com/containernetworking/cni) for networking management.
+
+### Network Hotplug
+
+Kata Containers has developed a set of network sub-commands and APIs to add, list and
+remove a guest network endpoint and to manipulate the guest route table.
+
+The following diagram illustrates the Kata Containers network hotplug workflow.
+
+![Network Hotplug](arch-images/kata-containers-network-hotplug.png)
+
+## Storage
+Container workloads are shared with the virtualized environment through [virtio-fs](https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/).
+
+The [devicemapper `snapshotter`](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/tree/master/snapshots/devmapper) is a special case. The `snapshotter` uses dedicated block devices rather than formatted filesystems, and operates at the block level rather than the file level. This knowledge is used to directly use the underlying block device instead of the overlay file system for the container root file system. The block device maps to the top read-write layer for the overlay. This approach gives much better I/O performance compared to using `virtio-fs` to share the container file system.
+
+Kata Containers has the ability to hotplug and remove block devices, which makes it possible to use block devices for containers started after the VM has been launched.
+
+Users can check to see if the container uses the devicemapper block device as its rootfs by calling `mount(8)` within the container.  If the devicemapper block device
+is used, `/` will be mounted on `/dev/vda`.  Users can disable direct mounting of the underlying block device through the runtime configuration.
+
+## Kubernetes support
+
+[Kubernetes\*](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/) is a popular open source
+container orchestration engine. In Kubernetes, a set of containers sharing resources
+such as networking, storage, mount, PID, etc. is called a
+[Pod](https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/pods/).
+A node can have multiple pods, but at a minimum, a node within a Kubernetes cluster
+only needs to run a container runtime and a container agent (called a
+[Kubelet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/kubelet/)).
+
+A Kubernetes cluster runs a control plane where a scheduler (typically running on a
+dedicated master node) calls into a compute Kubelet. This Kubelet instance is
+responsible for managing the lifecycle of pods within the nodes and eventually relies
+on a container runtime to handle execution. The Kubelet architecture decouples
+lifecycle management from container execution through the dedicated
+`gRPC` based [Container Runtime Interface (CRI)](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/design-proposals/node/container-runtime-interface-v1.md).
+
+In other words, a Kubelet is a CRI client and expects a CRI implementation to
+handle the server side of the interface.
+[CRI-O\*](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o) and [Containerd\*](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/) are CRI implementations that rely on [OCI](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec)
+compatible runtimes for managing container instances.
+
+Kata Containers is an officially supported CRI-O and Containerd runtime. Refer to the following guides on how to set up Kata Containers with Kubernetes:
+
+- [How to use Kata Containers and Containerd](../how-to/containerd-kata.md)
+- [Run Kata Containers with Kubernetes](../how-to/run-kata-with-k8s.md)
+
+####  OCI annotations
+
+In order for the Kata Containers runtime (or any virtual machine  based OCI compatible
+runtime) to be able to understand if it needs to create a full virtual machine or if it
+has to create a new container inside an existing pod's virtual machine, CRI-O adds
+specific annotations to the OCI configuration file (`config.json`) which is passed to
+the OCI compatible runtime.
+
+Before calling its runtime, CRI-O will always add a `io.kubernetes.cri-o.ContainerType`
+annotation to the `config.json` configuration file it produces from the Kubelet CRI
+request. The `io.kubernetes.cri-o.ContainerType` annotation can either be set to `sandbox`
+or `container`. Kata Containers will then use this annotation to decide if it needs to
+respectively create a virtual machine or a container inside a virtual machine associated
+with a Kubernetes pod:
+
+```Go
+	containerType, err := ociSpec.ContainerType()
+	if err != nil {
+		return err
+	}
+
+	handleFactory(ctx, runtimeConfig)
+
+	disableOutput := noNeedForOutput(detach, ociSpec.Process.Terminal)
+
+	var process vc.Process
+	switch containerType {
+	case vc.PodSandbox:
+		process, err = createSandbox(ctx, ociSpec, runtimeConfig, containerID, bundlePath, console, disableOutput, systemdCgroup)
+		if err != nil {
+			return err
+		}
+	case vc.PodContainer:
+		process, err = createContainer(ctx, ociSpec, containerID, bundlePath, console, disableOutput)
+		if err != nil {
+			return err
+		}
+	}
+
+```
+
+#### Mixing VM based and namespace based runtimes
+
+> **Note:** Since Kubernetes 1.12, the [`Kubernetes RuntimeClass`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/containers/runtime-class/)
+> has been supported and the user can specify runtime without the non-standardized annotations.
+
+With `RuntimeClass`, users can define Kata Containers as a `RuntimeClass` and then explicitly specify that a pod being created as a Kata Containers pod. For details, please refer to [How to use Kata Containers and Containerd](../../docs/how-to/containerd-kata.md).
+
+
+# Appendices
+
+## DAX
+
+Kata Containers utilizes the Linux kernel DAX [(Direct Access filesystem)](https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/filesystems/dax.txt)
+feature to efficiently map some host-side files into the guest VM space.
+In particular, Kata Containers uses the QEMU NVDIMM feature to provide a
+memory-mapped virtual device that can be used to DAX map the virtual machine's
+root filesystem into the guest memory address space.
+
+Mapping files using DAX provides a number of benefits over more traditional VM
+file and device mapping mechanisms:
+
+- Mapping as a direct access devices allows the guest to directly access
+  the host memory pages (such as via Execute In Place (XIP)), bypassing the guest
+  page cache. This provides both time and space optimizations.
+- Mapping as a direct access device inside the VM allows pages from the
+  host to be demand loaded using page faults, rather than having to make requests
+  via a virtualized device (causing expensive VM exits/hypercalls), thus providing
+  a speed optimization.
+- Utilizing `MAP_SHARED` shared memory on the host allows the host to efficiently
+  share pages.
+
+Kata Containers uses the following steps to set up the DAX mappings:
+1. QEMU is configured with an NVDIMM memory device, with a memory file
+  backend to map in the host-side file into the virtual NVDIMM space.
+2. The guest kernel command line mounts this NVDIMM device with the DAX
+  feature enabled, allowing direct page mapping and access, thus bypassing the
+  guest page cache.
+
+![DAX](arch-images/DAX.png)
+
+Information on the use of NVDIMM via QEMU is available in the [QEMU source code](http://git.qemu-project.org/?p=qemu.git;a=blob;f=docs/nvdimm.txt;hb=HEAD)

-# Kata Containers Architecture
-
-## Overview
-
-Kata Containers is an open source community working to build a secure
-container [runtime](#runtime) with lightweight virtual machines (VM's)
-that feel and perform like standard Linux containers, but provide
-stronger [workload](#workload) isolation using hardware
-[virtualization](#virtualization) technology as a second layer of
-defence.
-
-Kata Containers runs on [multiple architectures](../../../src/runtime/README.md#platform-support)
-and supports [multiple hypervisors](../../hypervisors.md).
-
-This document is a summary of the Kata Containers architecture.
-
-## Background knowledge
-
-This document assumes the reader understands a number of concepts
-related to containers and file systems. The
-[background](background.md) document explains these concepts.
-
-## Example command
-
-This document makes use of a particular [example
-command](example-command.md) throughout the text to illustrate certain
-concepts.
-
-## Virtualization
-
-For details on how Kata Containers maps container concepts to VM
-technologies, and how this is realized in the multiple hypervisors and
-VMMs that Kata supports see the
-[virtualization documentation](../virtualization.md).
-
-## Compatibility
-
-The [Kata Containers runtime](../../../src/runtime) is compatible with
-the [OCI](https://github.com/opencontainers)
-[runtime specification](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec)
-and therefore works seamlessly with the
-[Kubernetes Container Runtime Interface (CRI)](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-node/container-runtime-interface.md)
-through the [CRI-O](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o)
-and [containerd](https://github.com/containerd/containerd)
-implementations.
-
-Kata Containers provides a ["shimv2"](#shim-v2-architecture) compatible runtime.
-
-## Shim v2 architecture
-
-The Kata Containers runtime is shim v2 ("shimv2") compatible. This
-section explains what this means.
-
-> **Note:**
->
-> For a comparison with the Kata 1.x architecture, see
-> [the architectural history document](history.md).
-
-The
-[containerd runtime shimv2 architecture](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/tree/main/runtime/v2)
-or _shim API_ architecture resolves the issues with the old
-architecture by defining a set of shimv2 APIs that a compatible
-runtime implementation must supply. Rather than calling the runtime
-binary multiple times for each new container, the shimv2 architecture
-runs a single instance of the runtime binary (for any number of
-containers). This improves performance and resolves the state handling
-issue.
-
-The shimv2 API is similar to the
-[OCI runtime](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec)
-API in terms of the way the container lifecycle is split into
-different verbs. Rather than calling the runtime multiple times, the
-container manager creates a socket and passes it to the shimv2
-runtime. The socket is a bi-directional communication channel that
-uses a gRPC based protocol to allow the container manager to send API
-calls to the runtime, which returns the result to the container
-manager using the same channel.
-
-The shimv2 architecture allows running several containers per VM to
-support container engines that require multiple containers running
-inside a pod.
-
-With the new architecture [Kubernetes](kubernetes.md) can
-launch both Pod and OCI compatible containers with a single
-[runtime](#runtime) shim per Pod, rather than `2N+1` shims. No stand
-alone `kata-proxy` process is required, even if VSOCK is not
-available.
-
-## Workload
-
-The workload is the command the user requested to run in the
-container and is specified in the [OCI bundle](background.md#oci-bundle)'s
-configuration file.
-
-In our [example](example-command.md), the workload is the `sh(1)` command.
-
-### Workload root filesystem
-
-For details of how the [runtime](#runtime) makes the
-[container image](background.md#container-image) chosen by the user available to
-the workload process, see the
-[Container creation](#container-creation) and [storage](#storage) sections.
-
-Note that the workload is isolated from the [guest VM](#environments) environment by its
-surrounding [container environment](#environments). The guest VM
-environment where the container runs in is also isolated from the _outer_
-[host environment](#environments) where the container manager runs.
-
-## System overview
-
-### Environments
-
-The following terminology is used to describe the different or
-environments (or contexts) various processes run in. It is necessary
-to study this table closely to make sense of what follows:
-
-| Type | Name | Virtualized | Containerized | rootfs | Rootfs device type | Mount type | Description |
-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|
-| Host | Host | no `[1]` | no | Host specific | Host specific | Host specific | The environment provided by a standard, physical non virtualized system. |
-| VM root | Guest VM | yes | no | rootfs inside the [guest image](guest-assets.md#guest-image) | Hypervisor specific `[2]` | `ext4` | The first (or top) level VM environment created on a host system. |
-| VM container root | Container | yes | yes | rootfs type requested by user ([`ubuntu` in the example](example-command.md)) | `kataShared` | [virtio FS](storage.md#virtio-fs) | The first (or top) level container environment created inside the VM. Based on the [OCI bundle](background.md#oci-bundle). |
-
-**Key:**
-
-- `[1]`: For simplicity, this document assumes the host environment
-  runs on physical hardware.
-
-- `[2]`: See the [DAX](#dax) section.
-
-> **Notes:**
->
-> - The word "root" is used to mean _top level_ here in a similar
->   manner to the term [rootfs](background.md#root-filesystem).
->
-> - The term "first level" prefix used above is important since it implies
->   that it is possible to create multi level systems. However, they do
->   not form part of a standard Kata Containers environment so will not
->   be considered in this document.
-
-The reasons for containerizing the [workload](#workload) inside the VM
-are:
-
-- Isolates the workload entirely from the VM environment.
-- Provides better isolation between containers in a [pod](kubernetes.md).
-- Allows the workload to be managed and monitored through its cgroup
-  confinement.
-
-### Container creation
-
-The steps below show at a high level how a Kata Containers container is
-created using the containerd container manager:
-
-1. The user requests the creation of a container by running a command
-   like the [example command](example-command.md).
-1. The container manager daemon runs a single instance of the Kata
-   [runtime](#runtime).
-1. The Kata runtime loads its [configuration file](#configuration).
-1. The container manager calls a set of shimv2 API functions on the runtime.
-1. The Kata runtime launches the configured [hypervisor](#hypervisor).
-1. The hypervisor creates and starts (_boots_) a VM using the
-   [guest assets](guest-assets.md#guest-assets):
-
-   - The hypervisor [DAX](#dax) shares the
-     [guest image](guest-assets.md#guest-image)
-     into the VM to become the VM [rootfs](background.md#root-filesystem) (mounted on a `/dev/pmem*` device),
-     which is known as the [VM root environment](#environments).
-   - The hypervisor mounts the [OCI bundle](background.md#oci-bundle), using [virtio FS](storage.md#virtio-fs),
-     into a container specific directory inside the VM's rootfs.
-
-     This container specific directory will become the
-     [container rootfs](#environments), known as the
-     [container environment](#environments).
-
-1. The [agent](#agent) is started as part of the VM boot.
-
-1. The runtime calls the agent's `CreateSandbox` API to request the
-   agent create a container:
-
-   1. The agent creates a [container environment](#environments)
-      in the container specific directory that contains the [container rootfs](#environments).
-
-      The container environment hosts the [workload](#workload) in the
-      [container rootfs](#environments) directory.
-
-   1. The agent spawns the workload inside the container environment.
-
-   > **Notes:**
-   >
-   > - The container environment created by the agent is equivalent to
-   >   a container environment created by the
-   >   [`runc`](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc) OCI runtime;
-   >   Linux cgroups and namespaces are created inside the VM by the
-   >   [guest kernel](guest-assets.md#guest-kernel) to isolate the
-   >   workload from the VM environment the container is created in.
-   >   See the [Environments](#environments) section for an
-   >   explanation of why this is done.
-   >
-   > - See the [guest image](guest-assets.md#guest-image) section for
-   >   details of exactly how the agent is started.
-
-1. The container manager returns control of the container to the
-   user running the `ctr` command.
-
-> **Note:**
->
-> At this point, the container is running and:
->
-> - The [workload](#workload) process ([`sh(1)` in the example](example-command.md))
->   is running in the [container environment](#environments).
-> - The user is now able to interact with the workload
->   (using the [`ctr` command in the example](example-command.md)).
-> - The [agent](#agent), running inside the VM is monitoring the
->   [workload](#workload) process.
-> - The [runtime](#runtime) is waiting for the agent's `WaitProcess` API
->   call to complete.
-
-Further details of these steps are provided in the sections below.
-
-### Container shutdown
-
-There are two possible ways for the container environment to be
-terminated:
-
-- When the [workload](#workload) exits.
-
-  This is the standard, or _graceful_ shutdown method.
-
-- When the container manager forces the container to be deleted.
-
-#### Workload exit
-
-The [agent](#agent) will detect when the [workload](#workload) process
-exits, capture its exit status (see `wait(2)`) and return that value
-to the [runtime](#runtime) by specifying it as the response to the
-`WaitProcess` agent API call made by the [runtime](#runtime).
-
-The runtime then passes the value back to the container manager by the
-`Wait` [shimv2 API](#shim-v2-architecture) call.
-
-Once the workload has fully exited, the VM is no longer needed and the
-runtime cleans up the environment (which includes terminating the
-[hypervisor](#hypervisor) process).
-
-> **Note:**
->
-> When [agent tracing is enabled](../../tracing.md#agent-shutdown-behaviour),
-> the shutdown behaviour is different.
-
-#### Container manager requested shutdown
-
-If the container manager requests the container be deleted, the
-[runtime](#runtime) will signal the agent by sending it a
-`DestroySandbox` [ttRPC API](../../../src/libs/protocols/protos/agent.proto) request.
-
-## Guest assets
-
-The guest assets comprise a guest image and a guest kernel that are
-used by the [hypervisor](#hypervisor).
-
-See the [guest assets](guest-assets.md) document for further
-information.
-
-## Hypervisor
-
-The [hypervisor](../../hypervisors.md) specified in the
-[configuration file](#configuration) creates a VM to host the
-[agent](#agent) and the [workload](#workload) inside the
-[container environment](#environments).
-
-> **Note:**
->
-> The hypervisor process runs inside an environment slightly different
-> to the host environment:
->
-> - It is run in a different cgroup environment to the host.
-> - It is given a separate network namespace from the host.
-> - If the [OCI configuration specifies a SELinux label](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/main/config.md#linux-process),
->   the hypervisor process will run with that label (*not* the workload running inside the hypervisor's VM).
-
-## Agent
-
-The Kata Containers agent ([`kata-agent`](../../../src/agent)), written
-in the [Rust programming language](https://www.rust-lang.org), is a
-long running process that runs inside the VM. It acts as the
-supervisor for managing the containers and the [workload](#workload)
-running within those containers. Only a single agent process is run
-for each VM created.
-
-### Agent communications protocol
-
-The agent communicates with the other Kata components (primarily the
-[runtime](#runtime)) using a
-[`ttRPC`](https://github.com/containerd/ttrpc-rust) based
-[protocol](../../../src/libs/protocols/protos).
-
-> **Note:**
->
-> If you wish to learn more about this protocol, a practical way to do
-> so is to experiment with the
-> [agent control tool](#agent-control-tool) on a test system.
-> This tool is for test and development purposes only and can send
-> arbitrary ttRPC agent API commands to the [agent](#agent).
-
-## Runtime
-
-The Kata Containers runtime (the [`containerd-shim-kata-v2`](../../../src/runtime/cmd/containerd-shim-kata-v2
-) binary) is a [shimv2](#shim-v2-architecture) compatible runtime.
-
-> **Note:**
->
-> The Kata Containers runtime is sometimes referred to as the Kata
-> _shim_. Both terms are correct since the `containerd-shim-kata-v2`
-> is a container runtime, and that runtime implements the containerd
-> shim v2 API.
-
-The runtime makes heavy use of the [`virtcontainers`
-package](../../../src/runtime/virtcontainers), which provides a generic,
-runtime-specification agnostic, hardware-virtualized containers
-library.
-
-The runtime is responsible for starting the [hypervisor](#hypervisor)
-and it's VM, and communicating with the [agent](#agent) using a
-[ttRPC based protocol](#agent-communications-protocol) over a VSOCK
-socket that provides a communications link between the VM and the
-host. 
-
-This protocol allows the runtime to send container management commands
-to the agent. The protocol is also used to carry the standard I/O
-streams (`stdout`, `stderr`, `stdin`) between the containers and
-container managers (such as CRI-O or containerd).
-
-## Utility program
-
-The `kata-runtime` binary is a utility program that provides
-administrative commands to manipulate and query a Kata Containers
-installation.
-
-> **Note:**
->
-> In Kata 1.x, this program also acted as the main
-> [runtime](#runtime), but this is no longer required due to the
-> improved shimv2 architecture.
-
-### exec command
-
-The `exec` command allows an administrator or developer to enter the
-[VM root environment](#environments) which is not accessible by the container
-[workload](#workload).
-
-See [the developer guide](../../Developer-Guide.md#connect-to-debug-console) for further details.
-
-### Configuration
-
-See the [configuration file details](../../../src/runtime/README.md#configuration).
-
-The configuration file is also used to enable runtime [debug output](../../Developer-Guide.md#enable-full-debug).
-
-## Process overview
-
-The table below shows an example of the main processes running in the
-different [environments](#environments) when a Kata Container is
-created with containerd using our [example command](example-command.md):
-
-| Description | Host | VM root environment | VM container environment |
-|-|-|-|-|
-| Container manager | `containerd` | |
-| Kata Containers | [runtime](#runtime), [`virtiofsd`](storage.md#virtio-fs), [hypervisor](#hypervisor) | [agent](#agent) |
-| User [workload](#workload) | | | [`ubuntu sh`](example-command.md) |
-
-## Networking
-
-See the [networking document](networking.md).
-
-## Storage
-
-See the [storage document](storage.md).
-
-## Kubernetes support
-
-See the [Kubernetes document](kubernetes.md).
-
-####  OCI annotations
-
-In order for the Kata Containers [runtime](#runtime) (or any VM based OCI compatible
-runtime) to be able to understand if it needs to create a full VM or if it
-has to create a new container inside an existing pod's VM, CRI-O adds
-specific annotations to the OCI configuration file (`config.json`) which is passed to
-the OCI compatible runtime.
-
-Before calling its runtime, CRI-O will always add a `io.kubernetes.cri-o.ContainerType`
-annotation to the `config.json` configuration file it produces from the Kubelet CRI
-request. The `io.kubernetes.cri-o.ContainerType` annotation can either be set to `sandbox`
-or `container`. Kata Containers will then use this annotation to decide if it needs to
-respectively create a virtual machine or a container inside a virtual machine associated
-with a Kubernetes pod:
-
-| Annotation value | Kata VM created? | Kata container created? |
-|-|-|-|
-| `sandbox` | yes | yes (inside new VM) |
-| `container`| no | yes (in existing VM) |
-
-#### Mixing VM based and namespace based runtimes
-
-> **Note:** Since Kubernetes 1.12, the [`Kubernetes RuntimeClass`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/containers/runtime-class/)
-> has been supported and the user can specify runtime without the non-standardized annotations.
-
-With `RuntimeClass`, users can define Kata Containers as a
-`RuntimeClass` and then explicitly specify that a pod must be created
-as a Kata Containers pod. For details, please refer to [How to use
-Kata Containers and containerd](../../../docs/how-to/containerd-kata.md).
-
-## Tracing
-
-The [tracing document](../../tracing.md) provides details on the tracing
-architecture.
-
-# Appendices
-
-## DAX
-
-Kata Containers utilizes the Linux kernel DAX
-[(Direct Access filesystem)](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/filesystems/dax.rst?h=v5.14)
-feature to efficiently map the [guest image](guest-assets.md#guest-image) in the
-[host environment](#environments) into the
-[guest VM environment](#environments) to become the VM's
-[rootfs](background.md#root-filesystem).
-
-If the [configured](#configuration) [hypervisor](#hypervisor) is set
-to either QEMU or Cloud Hypervisor, DAX is used with the feature shown
-in the table below:
-
-| Hypervisor | Feature used | rootfs device type |
-|-|-|-|
-| Cloud Hypervisor (CH) | `dax` `FsConfig` configuration option | PMEM (emulated Persistent Memory device) |
-| QEMU | NVDIMM memory device with a memory file backend | NVDIMM (emulated Non-Volatile Dual In-line Memory Module device) |
-
-The features in the table above are equivalent in that they provide a memory-mapped
-virtual device which is used to DAX map the VM's
-[rootfs](background.md#root-filesystem) into the [VM guest](#environments) memory
-address space.
-
-The VM is then booted, specifying the `root=` kernel parameter to make
-the [guest kernel](guest-assets.md#guest-kernel) use the appropriate emulated device
-as its rootfs.
-
-### DAX advantages
-
-Mapping files using [DAX](#dax) provides a number of benefits over
-more traditional VM file and device mapping mechanisms:
-
-- Mapping as a direct access device allows the guest to directly
-  access the host memory pages (such as via Execute In Place (XIP)),
-  bypassing the [guest kernel](guest-assets.md#guest-kernel)'s page cache. This
-  zero copy provides both time and space optimizations.
-
-- Mapping as a direct access device inside the VM allows pages from the
-  host to be demand loaded using page faults, rather than having to make requests
-  via a virtualized device (causing expensive VM exits/hypercalls), thus providing
-  a speed optimization.
-
-- Utilizing `mmap(2)`'s `MAP_SHARED` shared memory option on the host
-  allows the host to efficiently share pages.

-# Kata Containers architecture background knowledge
-
-The following sections explain some of the background concepts
-required to understand the [architecture document](README.md).
-
-## Root filesystem
-
-This document uses the term _rootfs_ to refer to a root filesystem
-which is mounted as the top-level directory ("`/`") and often referred
-to as _slash_.
-
-It is important to understand this term since the overall system uses
-multiple different rootfs's (as explained in the
-[Environments](README.md#environments) section.
-
-## Container image
-
-In the [example command](example-command.md) the user has specified the
-type of container they wish to run via the container image name:
-`ubuntu`. This image name corresponds to a _container image_ that can
-be used to create a container with an Ubuntu Linux environment. Hence,
-in our [example](example-command.md), the `sh(1)` command will be run
-inside a container which has an Ubuntu rootfs.
-
-> **Note:**
->
-> The term _container image_ is confusing since the image in question
-> is **not** a container: it is simply a set of files (_an image_)
-> that can be used to _create_ a container. The term _container
-> template_ would be more accurate but the term _container image_ is
-> commonly used so this document uses the standard term.
-
-For the purposes of this document, the most important part of the
-[example command line](example-command.md) is the container image the
-user has requested. Normally, the container manager will _pull_
-(download) a container image from a remote site and store a copy
-locally. This local container image is used by the container manager
-to create an [OCI bundle](#oci-bundle) which will form the environment
-the container will run in. After creating the OCI bundle, the
-container manager launches a [runtime](README.md#runtime) which will create the
-container using the provided OCI bundle.
-
-## OCI bundle
-
-To understand what follows, it is important to know at a high level
-how an OCI ([Open Containers Initiative](https://opencontainers.org)) compatible container is created.
-
-An OCI compatible container is created by taking a
-[container image](#container-image) and converting the embedded rootfs
-into an
-[OCI rootfs bundle](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/main/bundle.md),
-or more simply, an _OCI bundle_.
-
-An OCI bundle is a `tar(1)` archive normally created by a container
-manager which is passed to an OCI [runtime](README.md#runtime) which converts
-it into a full container rootfs. The bundle contains two assets:
-
-- A container image [rootfs](#root-filesystem)
-
-  This is simply a directory of files that will be used to represent
-  the rootfs for the container.
-
-  For the [example command](example-command.md), the directory will
-  contain the files necessary to create a minimal Ubuntu root
-  filesystem.
-
-- An [OCI configuration file](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/main/config.md)
-
-  This is a JSON file called `config.json`.
-
-  The container manager will create this file so that:
-
-  - The `root.path` value is set to the full path of the specified
-    container rootfs.
-
-    In [the example](example-command.md) this value will be `ubuntu`.
-
-  - The `process.args` array specifies the list of commands the user
-    wishes to run. This is known as the [workload](README.md#workload).
-
-    In [the example](example-command.md) the workload is `sh(1)`.

-# Guest assets
-
-Kata Containers creates a VM in which to run one or more containers.
-It does this by launching a [hypervisor](README.md#hypervisor) to
-create the VM. The hypervisor needs two assets for this task: a Linux
-kernel and a small root filesystem image to boot the VM.
-
-## Guest kernel
-
-The [guest kernel](../../../tools/packaging/kernel)
-is passed to the hypervisor and used to boot the VM.
-The default kernel provided in Kata Containers is highly optimized for
-kernel boot time and minimal memory footprint, providing only those
-services required by a container workload. It is based on the latest
-Linux LTS (Long Term Support) [kernel](https://www.kernel.org).
-
-## Guest image
-
-The hypervisor uses an image file which provides a minimal root
-filesystem used by the guest kernel to boot the VM and host the Kata
-Container. Kata Containers supports both initrd and rootfs based
-minimal guest images. The [default packages](../../install/) provide both
-an image and an initrd, both of which are created using the
-[`osbuilder`](../../../tools/osbuilder) tool.
-
-> **Notes:**
->
-> - Although initrd and rootfs based images are supported, not all
->   [hypervisors](README.md#hypervisor) support both types of image.
->
-> - The guest image is *unrelated* to the image used in a container
->   workload.
->
->   For example, if a user creates a container that runs a shell in a
->   BusyBox image, they will run that shell in a BusyBox environment.
->   However, the guest image running inside the VM that is used to
->   *host* that BusyBox image could be running Clear Linux, Ubuntu,
->   Fedora or any other distribution potentially.
->
->   The `osbuilder` tool provides
->   [configurations for various common Linux distributions](../../../tools/osbuilder/rootfs-builder)
->   which can be built into either initrd or rootfs guest images.
->
-> - If you are using a [packaged version of Kata
->   Containers](../../install), you can see image details by running the
->   [`kata-collect-data.sh`](../../../src/runtime/data/kata-collect-data.sh.in)
->   script as `root` and looking at the "Image details" section of the
->   output.
-
-#### Root filesystem image
-
-The default packaged rootfs image, sometimes referred to as the _mini
-O/S_, is a highly optimized container bootstrap system.
-
-If this image type is [configured](README.md#configuration), when the
-user runs the [example command](example-command.md):
-
-- The [runtime](README.md#runtime) will launch the configured [hypervisor](README.md#hypervisor).
-- The hypervisor will boot the mini-OS image using the [guest kernel](#guest-kernel).
-- The kernel will start the init daemon as PID 1 (`systemd`) inside the VM root environment.
-- `systemd`, running inside the mini-OS context, will launch the [agent](README.md#agent)
-  in the root context of the VM.
-- The agent will create a new container environment, setting its root
-  filesystem to that requested by the user (Ubuntu in [the example](example-command.md)).
-- The agent will then execute the command (`sh(1)` in [the example](example-command.md))
-  inside the new container.
-
-The table below summarises the default mini O/S showing the
-environments that are created, the services running in those
-environments (for all platforms) and the root filesystem used by
-each service:

->   environment which itself is running within a VM environment.
->
-> - See the [configuration files for the `osbuilder` tool](../../../tools/osbuilder/rootfs-builder)
->   for details of the default distribution for platforms other than
->   Intel x86_64.
-
-#### Initrd image
-
-The initrd image is a compressed `cpio(1)` archive, created from a
-rootfs which is loaded into memory and used as part of the Linux
-startup process. During startup, the kernel unpacks it into a special
-instance of a `tmpfs` mount that becomes the initial root filesystem.
-
-If this image type is [configured](README.md#configuration), when the user runs
-the [example command](example-command.md):
-
-- The [runtime](README.md#runtime) will launch the configured [hypervisor](README.md#hypervisor).
-- The hypervisor will boot the mini-OS image using the [guest kernel](#guest-kernel).
-- The kernel will start the init daemon as PID 1 (the
-  [agent](README.md#agent))
-  inside the VM root environment.
-- The [agent](README.md#agent) will create a new container environment, setting its root
-  filesystem to that requested by the user (`ubuntu` in
-  [the example](example-command.md)).
-- The agent will then execute the command (`sh(1)` in [the example](example-command.md))
-  inside the new container.
-
-The table below summarises the default mini O/S showing the environments that are created,
-the processes running in those environments (for all platforms) and

-| container workload | VM container | User specified (Ubuntu in this example) | [exec command](README.md#exec-command) | Managed by the agent |
-
-> **Notes:**
->
-> - The "User accessible" column shows how an administrator can access
->   the environment.

-> - It is possible to use a standard init daemon such as systemd with
->   an initrd image if this is desirable.

-## Kata 1.x architecture
-
-In the old [Kata 1.x architecture](https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/blob/master/design/architecture.md),
-the Kata [runtime](README.md#runtime) was an executable called `kata-runtime`.
-The container manager called this executable multiple times when
-creating each container. Each time the runtime was called a different
-OCI command-line verb was provided. This architecture was simple, but
-not well suited to creating VM based containers due to the issue of
-handling state between calls. Additionally, the architecture suffered
-from performance issues related to continually having to spawn new
-instances of the runtime binary, and
-[Kata shim](https://github.com/kata-containers/shim) and
-[Kata proxy](https://github.com/kata-containers/proxy) processes for systems
-that did not provide VSOCK.

-## Kata 2.x architecture

-See the ["shimv2"](README.md#shim-v2-architecture) section of the
-architecture document.

-## Architectural comparison

-| Kata version | Kata Runtime process calls | Kata shim processes | Kata proxy processes (if no VSOCK) |

-| 1.x | multiple per container | 1 per container connection | 1 |
-| 2.x | 1 per VM (hosting any number of containers) | 0 | 0 |

-# Kubernetes support
-
-[Kubernetes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/), or K8s, is a popular open source
-container orchestration engine. In Kubernetes, a set of containers sharing resources
-such as networking, storage, mount, PID, etc. is called a
-[pod](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/).
-
-A node can have multiple pods, but at a minimum, a node within a Kubernetes cluster
-only needs to run a container runtime and a container agent (called a
-[Kubelet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/components/#kubelet)).
-
-Kata Containers represents a Kubelet pod as a VM.
-
-A Kubernetes cluster runs a control plane where a scheduler (typically
-running on a dedicated master node) calls into a compute Kubelet. This
-Kubelet instance is responsible for managing the lifecycle of pods
-within the nodes and eventually relies on a container runtime to
-handle execution. The Kubelet architecture decouples lifecycle
-management from container execution through a dedicated gRPC based
-[Container Runtime Interface (CRI)](https://github.com/kubernetes/design-proposals-archive/blob/main/node/container-runtime-interface-v1.md).
-
-In other words, a Kubelet is a CRI client and expects a CRI
-implementation to handle the server side of the interface.
-[CRI-O](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o) and
-[containerd](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/) are CRI
-implementations that rely on
-[OCI](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec) compatible
-runtimes for managing container instances.

-Kata Containers is an officially supported CRI-O and containerd
-runtime. Refer to the following guides on how to set up Kata
-Containers with Kubernetes:

-# Networking
-
-Containers typically live in their own, possibly shared, networking namespace.
-At some point in a container lifecycle, container engines will set up that namespace
-to add the container to a network which is isolated from the host network.
-
-In order to setup the network for a container, container engines call into a 
-networking plugin. The network plugin will usually create a virtual
-ethernet (`veth`) pair adding one end of the `veth` pair into the container 
-networking namespace, while the other end of the `veth` pair is added to the 
-host networking namespace.
-
-This is a very namespace-centric approach as many hypervisors or VM
-Managers (VMMs) such as `virt-manager` cannot handle `veth`
-interfaces. Typically, [`TAP`](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt) 
-interfaces are created for VM connectivity.
-
-To overcome incompatibility between typical container engines expectations
-and virtual machines, Kata Containers networking transparently connects `veth`
-interfaces with `TAP` ones using [Traffic Control](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/tc.8.html):
-
-![Kata Containers networking](../arch-images/network.png)
-
-With a TC filter rules in place, a redirection is created between the container network
- and the virtual machine. As an example, the network plugin may place a device, 
-`eth0`, in the container's network namespace, which is one end of a VETH device. 
-Kata Containers will create a tap device for the VM, `tap0_kata`,
-and setup a TC redirection filter to redirect traffic from `eth0`'s ingress to `tap0_kata`'s egress,
-and a second TC filter to redirect traffic from `tap0_kata`'s ingress to `eth0`'s egress.
-
-Kata Containers maintains support for MACVTAP, which was an earlier implementation used in Kata. 
-With this method, Kata created a MACVTAP device to connect directly to the `eth0` device. 
-TC-filter is the default because it allows for simpler configuration, better CNI plugin 
-compatibility, and performance on par with MACVTAP.
-
-Kata Containers has deprecated support for bridge due to lacking performance relative to TC-filter and MACVTAP.
-
-Kata Containers supports both
-[CNM](https://github.com/moby/libnetwork/blob/master/docs/design.md#the-container-network-model)
-and [CNI](https://github.com/containernetworking/cni) for networking management.

-standards and runtime. From the perspective of storage, this means no

-[workload](README.md#workload) may use.
-
-Since cgroups are not able to set limits on storage allocation, if you

-## virtio SCSI
-
-If a block-based graph driver is [configured](README.md#configuration),
-`virtio-scsi` is used to _share_ the workload image (such as
-`busybox:latest`) into the container's environment inside the VM.
-
-## virtio FS
-
-If a block-based graph driver is _not_ [configured](README.md#configuration), a
-[`virtio-fs`](https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io) (`VIRTIO`) overlay
-filesystem mount point is used to _share_ the workload image instead. The
-[agent](README.md#agent) uses this mount point as the root filesystem for the
-container processes.
-
-For virtio-fs, the [runtime](README.md#runtime) starts one `virtiofsd` daemon
-(that runs in the host context) for each VM created.
-
-## Devicemapper
-
-The
-[devicemapper `snapshotter`](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/tree/main/snapshots/devmapper)
-is a special case. The `snapshotter` uses dedicated block devices
-rather than formatted filesystems, and operates at the block level
-rather than the file level. This knowledge is used to directly use the
-underlying block device instead of the overlay file system for the
-container root file system. The block device maps to the top
-read-write layer for the overlay. This approach gives much better I/O
-performance compared to using `virtio-fs` to share the container file
-system.
-
-#### Hot plug and unplug
-
-Kata Containers has the ability to hot plug add and hot plug remove
-block devices. This makes it possible to use block devices for
-containers started after the VM has been launched.
-
-Users can check to see if the container uses the `devicemapper` block
-device as its rootfs by calling `mount(8)` within the container. If
-the `devicemapper` block device is used, the root filesystem (`/`)
-will be mounted from `/dev/vda`. Users can disable direct mounting of
-the underlying block device through the runtime

-# Kata 3.0 Architecture
-## Overview
-In cloud-native scenarios, there is an increased demand for container startup speed, resource consumption, stability, and security, areas where the present Kata Containers runtime is challenged relative to other runtimes. To achieve this, we propose a solid, field-tested and secure Rust version of the kata-runtime.
-
-Also, we provide the following designs:
-
-- Turn key solution with builtin `Dragonball` Sandbox
-- Async I/O to reduce resource consumption
-- Extensible framework for multiple services, runtimes and hypervisors
-- Lifecycle management for sandbox and container associated resources
-
-### Rationale for choosing Rust
-
-We chose Rust because it is designed as a system language with a focus on efficiency.
-In contrast to Go, Rust makes a variety of design trade-offs in order to obtain
-good execution performance, with innovative techniques that, in contrast to C or
-C++, provide reasonable protection against common memory errors (buffer
-overflow, invalid pointers, range errors), error checking (ensuring errors are
-dealt with), thread safety, ownership of resources, and more.
-
-These benefits were verified in our project when the Kata Containers guest agent
-was rewritten in Rust. We notably saw a significant reduction in memory usage
-with the Rust-based implementation.
-
-
-## Design
-### Architecture
-![architecture](./images/architecture.png)
-### Built-in VMM
-#### Current Kata 2.x architecture
-![not_builtin_vmm](./images/not_built_in_vmm.png)
-As shown in the figure, runtime and VMM are separate processes. The runtime process forks the VMM process and interacts through the inter-process RPC. Typically, process interaction consumes more resources than peers within the process, and it will result in relatively low efficiency. At the same time, the cost of resource operation and maintenance should be considered. For example, when performing resource recovery under abnormal conditions, the exception of any process must be detected by others and activate the appropriate resource recovery process. If there are additional processes, the recovery becomes even more difficult.
-#### How To Support Built-in VMM
-We provide `Dragonball` Sandbox to enable built-in VMM by integrating VMM's function into the Rust library. We could perform VMM-related functionalities by using the library. Because runtime and VMM  are in the same process, there is a benefit in terms of message processing speed and API synchronization. It can also guarantee the consistency of the runtime and the VMM life cycle, reducing resource recovery and exception handling maintenance, as shown in the figure:
-![builtin_vmm](./images/built_in_vmm.png)
-### Async Support
-#### Why Need Async
-**Async is already in stable Rust and allows us to write async code**
-
-- Async provides significantly reduced CPU and memory overhead, especially for workloads with a large amount of IO-bound tasks
-- Async is zero-cost in Rust, which means that you only pay for what you use. Specifically, you can use async without heap allocations and dynamic dispatch, which greatly improves efficiency
-- For more (see [Why Async?](https://rust-lang.github.io/async-book/01_getting_started/02_why_async.html) and [The State of Asynchronous Rust](https://rust-lang.github.io/async-book/01_getting_started/03_state_of_async_rust.html)).
-
-**There may be several problems if implementing kata-runtime with Sync Rust**
-
-- Too many threads with a new TTRPC connection
-   - TTRPC threads: reaper thread(1) + listener thread(1) + client handler(2)
-- Add 3 I/O threads with a new container
-- In Sync mode, implementing a timeout mechanism is challenging. For example, in TTRPC API interaction, the timeout mechanism is difficult to align with Golang
-#### How To Support Async
-The kata-runtime is controlled by TOKIO_RUNTIME_WORKER_THREADS to run the OS thread, which is 2 threads by default. For TTRPC and container-related threads run in the `tokio` thread in a unified manner, and related dependencies need to be switched to Async, such as Timer, File, Netlink, etc. With the help of Async, we can easily support no-block I/O and timer. Currently, we only utilize Async for kata-runtime. The built-in VMM keeps the OS thread because it can ensure that the threads are controllable.
-
-**For N tokio worker threads and M containers**
-
-- Sync runtime(both OS thread and `tokio` task are OS thread but without `tokio` worker thread)  OS thread number:  4 + 12*M
-- Async runtime(only OS thread is OS thread) OS thread number: 2 + N
-```shell
-├─ main(OS thread)
-├─ async-logger(OS thread)
-└─ tokio worker(N * OS thread)
-  ├─ agent log forwarder(1 * tokio task)
-  ├─ health check thread(1 * tokio task)
-  ├─ TTRPC reaper thread(M * tokio task)
-  ├─ TTRPC listener thread(M * tokio task)
-  ├─ TTRPC client handler thread(7 * M * tokio task)
-  ├─ container stdin io thread(M * tokio task)
-  ├─ container stdout io thread(M * tokio task)
-  └─ container stderr io thread(M * tokio task)
-```
-### Extensible Framework
-The Kata 3.x runtime is designed with the extension of service, runtime, and hypervisor, combined with configuration to meet the needs of different scenarios. At present, the service provides a register mechanism to support multiple services. Services could interact with runtime through messages. In addition, the runtime handler handles messages from services. To meet the needs of a binary that supports multiple runtimes and hypervisors, the startup must obtain the runtime handler type and hypervisor type through configuration.
-
-![framework](./images/framework.png)
-### Resource Manager
-In our case, there will be a variety of resources, and every resource has several subtypes. Especially for `Virt-Container`, every subtype of resource has different operations. And there may be dependencies, such as the share-fs rootfs and the share-fs volume will use share-fs resources to share files to the VM. Currently, network and share-fs are regarded as sandbox resources, while rootfs, volume, and cgroup are regarded as container resources. Also, we abstract a common interface for each resource and use subclass operations to evaluate the differences between different subtypes.

-## FAQ
-
-- Are the "service", "message dispatcher" and "runtime handler" all part of the single Kata 3.x runtime binary?
-
-  Yes. They are components in Kata 3.x runtime. And they will be packed into one binary.
-  1. Service is an interface, which is responsible for handling multiple services like task service, image service and etc. 
-  2. Message dispatcher, it is used to match multiple requests from the service module. 
-  3. Runtime handler is used to deal with the operation for sandbox and container. 
-- What is the name of the Kata 3.x runtime binary?
-  
-  Apparently we can't use `containerd-shim-v2-kata` because it's already used. We are facing the hardest issue of "naming" again. Any suggestions are welcomed.
-  Internally we use `containerd-shim-v2-rund`.
-
-- Is the Kata 3.x design compatible with the containerd shimv2 architecture? 
-  
-  Yes. It is designed to follow the functionality of go version kata.  And it implements the `containerd shim v2` interface/protocol.
-
-- How will users migrate to the Kata 3.x architecture?
-  
-  The migration plan will be provided before the Kata 3.x is merging into the main branch.
-
-- Is `Dragonball` limited to its own built-in VMM? Can the `Dragonball` system be configured to work using an external `Dragonball` VMM/hypervisor?
-
-  The `Dragonball` could work as an external hypervisor. However, stability and performance is challenging in this case. Built in VMM could optimise the container overhead, and it's easy to maintain stability.
-
-  `runD` is the `containerd-shim-v2` counterpart of `runC` and can run a pod/containers. `Dragonball` is a `microvm`/VMM that is designed to run container workloads. Instead of `microvm`/VMM, we sometimes refer to it as secure sandbox.
-
-- QEMU, Cloud Hypervisor and Firecracker support are planned, but how that would work. Are they working in separate process?
- 
-  Yes. They are unable to work as built in VMM.
-
-- What is `upcall`?
-  
-    The `upcall` is used to hotplug CPU/memory/MMIO devices, and it solves two issues.
-    1. avoid dependency on PCI/ACPI
-    2. avoid dependency on `udevd` within guest and get deterministic results for hotplug operations. So `upcall` is an alternative to ACPI based CPU/memory/device hotplug. And we may cooperate with the community to add support for ACPI based CPU/memory/device hotplug if needed.
-   
-    `Dbs-upcall` is a `vsock-based` direct communication tool between VMM and guests. The server side of the `upcall` is a driver in guest kernel (kernel patches are needed for this feature) and it'll start to serve the requests once the kernel has started. And the client side is in VMM , it'll be a thread that communicates with VSOCK through `uds`. We have accomplished device hotplug / hot-unplug directly through `upcall` in order to avoid virtualization of ACPI  to minimize virtual machine's overhead. And there could be many other usage through this direct communication channel. It's already open source.
-   https://github.com/openanolis/dragonball-sandbox/tree/main/crates/dbs-upcall 
-
-- The URL below says the kernel patches work with 4.19, but do they also work with 5.15+ ?
-  
-  Forward compatibility should be achievable, we have ported it to 5.10 based kernel.
-
-- Are these patches platform-specific or would they work for any architecture that supports VSOCK?
-  
-  It's almost platform independent, but some message related to CPU hotplug are platform dependent.
-
-- Could the kernel driver be replaced with a userland daemon in the guest using loopback VSOCK?
-  
-  We need to create device nodes for hot-added CPU/memory/devices, so it's not easy for userspace daemon to do these tasks.
-
-- The fact that `upcall` allows communication between the VMM and the guest suggests that this architecture might be incompatible with https://github.com/confidential-containers where the VMM should have no knowledge of what happens inside the VM.
-  
-  1. `TDX` doesn't support CPU/memory hotplug yet.
-  2. For ACPI based device hotplug, it depends on ACPI `DSDT` table, and the guest kernel will execute `ASL` code to handle during handling those hotplug event. And it should be easier to audit VSOCK based communication than ACPI `ASL` methods.
-
-- What is the security boundary for the monolithic / "Built-in VMM" case?
-  
-  It has the security boundary of virtualization. More details will be provided in next stage.
