Fabiano Fidêncio 2bf7a53622 kata-deploy: install kata-ctl on the node when debug is enabled
kata-ctl provides `kata-ctl exec <sandbox-id>`, the runtime-rs entry point
into a sandbox's agent debug console. It ships in the kata-tools bundle
rather than with the shim binaries, so it is not staged into the kata-deploy
image and never lands on the node - leaving runtime-rs deployments without a
first-class way to reach the debug console.

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.
