Kata Containers
Welcome to Kata Containers!
The purpose of this repository is to act as a "top level" site for the project. Specifically it is used:
-
To provide a list of the various other Kata Containers repositories, along with a brief explanation of their purpose.
-
To provide a general area for Raising Issues.
Raising issues
This repository is used for raising issues:
-
That might affect multiple code repositories.
-
Where the raiser is unsure which repositories are affected.
Note:
- If an issue affects only a single component, it should be raised in that components repository.
Kata Containers repositories
Community
The Community repository is the first place to go if you want to use or contribute to the project.
Code Repositories
Kata Containers-developed components
Agent
The kata-agent runs inside the
virtual machine and sets up the container environment.
KSM throttler
The kata-ksm-throttler
is an optional utility that monitors containers and deduplicates memory to
maximize container density on a host.
Proxy
The kata-proxy is a process that
runs on the host and co-ordinates access to the agent running inside the
virtual machine.
Runtime
The kata-runtime is usually
invoked by a container manager and provides high-level verbs to manage
containers.
Shim
The kata-shim is a process that
runs on the host. It acts as though it is the workload (which actually runs
inside the virtual machine). This shim is required to be compliant with the
expectations of the OCI runtime
specification.
Additional
Hypervisor
The qemu hypervisor is used to
create virtual machines for hosting the containers.
Kernel
The Linux* kernel is used by the hypervisor to boot the guest image.
Documentation
The documentation repository hosts documentation common to all code components.
Test code
The tests repository hosts all test code except the unit testing code (which is kept in the same repository as the component it tests).
Utilities
OS builder
The osbuilder tool can create a rootfs and a "mini O/S" image. This image is used by the hypervisor to setup the environment before switching to the workload.
