Fabiano Fidêncio fc81c79cab runtime-rs: do not require OVMF for qemu-nvidia-cpu-runtime-rs on arm64
Commit e8bb619b1b ("runtime: do not require OVMF for qemu-nvidia-cpu
on arm64") dropped the generic OVMF/AAVMF firmware inheritance for the
Go qemu-nvidia-cpu runtime, but assumed runtime-rs already did the right
thing by default. It didn't: the runtime-rs profile still pointed at the
generic @FIRMWAREPATH@ / @FIRMWAREVOLUMEPATH@ and still pulled in the
ovmf component on aarch64.

Mirror the fix on the runtime-rs side by introducing dedicated empty
FIRMWAREPATH_NV_CPU / FIRMWAREVOLUMEPATH_NV_CPU variables, wiring them
into the qemu-nvidia-cpu-runtime-rs configuration, and dropping ovmf
from its aarch64 shim components.

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.
