While the use-case of Intel QuickAssist (QAT) accelerated crypto and/or compression with k8s and Kata Containers is still valid, the setup instructions are outdated: Starting with Intel Xeon Gen4 (Sapphire Rapids), QAT driver stack moved to in-tree drivers without a separete SR-IOV VF driver. Drop all the setup instructions but keep the use-cases doc for reference. Users wanting to enable the use-case, should consult with Intel QAT Device plugins or Intel QAT DRA driver authors.

**Note:**: This guide used to contain an end-to-end flow to build a
|
|
custom Kata containers root filesystem with QAT out-of-tree SR-IOV virtual
|
|
function driver and run QAT enabled containers. The former is no longer necessary
|
|
so the instructions are dropped. If the use-case is still of interest, please file
|
|
an issue in either of the QAT Kubernetes specific repos linked below.

# Introduction
|
|
|
|
Intel® QuickAssist Technology (QAT) provides hardware acceleration
|
|
for security (cryptography) and compression. Kata Containers can enable
|
|
these acceleration functions for containers using QAT SR-IOV with the
|
|
support from [Intel QAT Device Plugin for Kubernetes](https://github.com/intel/intel-device-plugins-for-kubernetes)
|
|
or [Intel QAT DRA Resource Driver for Kubernetes](https://github.com/intel/intel-resource-drivers-for-kubernetes).
