Fabiano Fidêncio 522ca781d7 build: split NVIDIA rootfs into base-nvidia image + gpu extension
Carve the monolithic NVIDIA GPU rootfs into a driver-agnostic
base-nvidia image (NVRC init + agent + base libs + in-tree modules)
and a driver-versioned gpu extension (GPU userspace, configs, firmware,
NVIDIA modules) laid out for /run/kata-extensions/gpu. Both halves are
produced from the same chiseled tree via a partition-after step, so
the monolith build stays byte-identical and continues to ship.

The shared stage-one (driver install) is reused across the monolith,
base and extension variants; base-nvidia is cached without the driver/ctk
versions so one base image can back multiple driver extensions.

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.
