Fabiano Fidêncio 8c4bad68a8 kata-deploy: Remove kustomize yamls, rely on helm-chart only
As the kata-deploy helm chart has been the only way we've been testing
kata-containers deployment as part of our CI, it's time to finally get
rid of the kustomize yamls and avoid us having to maintain two different
methods (with one of those not being tested).

Here I removed:
* kata-deploy yamls and kustomize yamls
* kata-cleanup yamls and kustomize yamls
* kata-rbac yals and kustomize yamls
* README.md for the kustomize yamls was removed

# Kata Containers 3.0 rust runtime installation
The following is an overview of the different installation methods available.
## Prerequisites
Kata Containers 3.0 rust runtime requires nested virtualization or bare metal. Check
[hardware requirements](/src/runtime/README.md#hardware-requirements) to see if your system is capable of running Kata
Containers.
### Platform support
Kata Containers 3.0 rust runtime currently runs on 64-bit systems supporting the following
architectures:
> **Notes:**
> For other architectures, see https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/4320
| Architecture | Virtualization technology |
|-|-|
| `x86_64`| [Intel](https://www.intel.com) VT-x |
| `aarch64` ("`arm64`")| [ARM](https://www.arm.com) Hyp |
## Packaged installation methods
| Installation method | Description | Automatic updates | Use case | Availability
|------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------- |
| [Using kata-deploy](#kata-deploy-installation) | The preferred way to deploy the Kata Containers distributed binaries on a Kubernetes cluster | **No!** | Best way to give it a try on kata-containers on an already up and running Kubernetes cluster. | Yes |
| [Using official distro packages](#official-packages) | Kata packages provided by Linux distributions official repositories | yes | Recommended for most users. | No |
| [Automatic](#automatic-installation) | Run a single command to install a full system | **No!** | For those wanting the latest release quickly. | No |
| [Manual](#manual-installation) | Follow a guide step-by-step to install a working system | **No!** | For those who want the latest release with more control. | No |
| [Build from source](#build-from-source-installation) | Build the software components manually | **No!** | Power users and developers only. | Yes |
### Kata Deploy Installation
Follow the [`kata-deploy`](../../tools/packaging/kata-deploy/helm-chart/README.md).
### Official packages
`ToDo`
### Automatic Installation
`ToDo`
### Manual Installation
`ToDo`
## Build from source installation
### Rust Environment Set Up
* Download `Rustup` and install `Rust`
> **Notes:**
> For Rust version, please set `RUST_VERSION` to the value of `languages.rust.meta.newest-version key` in [`versions.yaml`](../../versions.yaml) or, if `yq` is available on your system, run `export RUST_VERSION=$(yq read versions.yaml languages.rust.meta.newest-version)`.
Example for `x86_64`
```
$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
$ source $HOME/.cargo/env
$ rustup install ${RUST_VERSION}
$ rustup default ${RUST_VERSION}-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
```
* Musl support for fully static binary
Example for `x86_64`
```
$ rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
```
* [Musl `libc`](http://musl.libc.org/) install
Example for musl 1.2.3
```
$ curl -O https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/snapshot/musl-1.2.3.tar.gz
$ tar vxf musl-1.2.3.tar.gz
$ cd musl-1.2.3/
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/
$ make && sudo make install
```
### Install Kata 3.0 Rust Runtime Shim
```
$ git clone https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers.git
$ cd kata-containers/src/runtime-rs
$ make && sudo make install
```
After running the command above, the default config file `configuration.toml` will be installed under `/usr/share/defaults/kata-containers/`, the binary file `containerd-shim-kata-v2` will be installed under `/usr/local/bin/` .
### Install Shim Without Builtin Dragonball VMM
By default, runtime-rs includes the `Dragonball` VMM. To build without the built-in `Dragonball` hypervisor, use `make USE_BUILDIN_DB=false`:
```bash
$ cd kata-containers/src/runtime-rs
$ make USE_BUILDIN_DB=false
```
After building, specify the desired hypervisor during installation using `HYPERVISOR`. For example, to use `qemu` or `cloud-hypervisor`:
```
sudo make install HYPERVISOR=qemu
```
or
```
sudo make install HYPERVISOR=cloud-hypervisor
```
### Build Kata Containers Kernel
Follow the [Kernel installation guide](/tools/packaging/kernel/README.md).
### Build Kata Rootfs
Follow the [Rootfs installation guide](../../tools/osbuilder/rootfs-builder/README.md).
### Build Kata Image
Follow the [Image installation guide](../../tools/osbuilder/image-builder/README.md).
### Install Containerd
Follow the [Containerd installation guide](container-manager/containerd/containerd-install.md).
