Manuel Huber c6f90de4c4 nvidia/runtime-rs: use EROFS without virtio-fs
Disable filesystem sharing for the non-confidential NVIDIA runtime-rs
handler and use the EROFS snapshotter as its Kubernetes image-layer
transport. This moves the runtime class toward a guest-owned storage
model instead of relying on virtio-fs for container image layers and
writable cache volumes.

Configure kata-deploy's NVIDIA GPU values to install EROFS and select
it for the qemu-nvidia-gpu-runtime-rs Kubernetes handler. Use
memory-backed writable layers and dm-verity for lower-layer integrity.

Adjust the NVIDIA GPU Kubernetes CI matrix so the non-confidential
runtime-rs job exercises EROFS, while the Go and TEE jobs keep their
existing snapshotter choices.

Keep the Docker smoke test path on virtio-fs. The EROFS setup is
targeted at the Kubernetes runtime-rs handler, where containerd can use
the EROFS snapshotter for image layers.

Adjust the runtime-rs NIM test selection and manifests closer to the
TEE case, where filesystem sharing is already disabled and cache
storage is guest-owned and ephemeral.

Kata Containers packaging

Introduction

Kata Containers currently supports packages for many distributions. Tooling to aid in creating these packages are contained within this repository.

Build in a container

Kata build artifacts are available within a container image, created by a Dockerfile. Reference DaemonSets are provided in kata-deploy, which make installation of Kata Containers in a running Kubernetes Cluster very straightforward.

Build static binaries

See the static build documentation.

Build Kata Containers Kernel

See the kernel documentation.

Build QEMU

See the QEMU documentation.

Create a Kata Containers release

See the release documentation.

Packaging scripts

See the scripts documentation.
