Fabiano Fidêncio d40afe592c genpolicy: add settings drop-in directory and RFC 6902 JSON Patch support
Allow genpolicy -j to accept a directory instead of a single file.
When given a directory, genpolicy loads genpolicy-settings.json from it
and applies all genpolicy-settings.d/*.json files (sorted by name) as
RFC 6902 JSON Patches. This gives precise control over settings with
explicit operations (add, remove, replace, move, copy, test), including
array index manipulation and assertions.

Ship composable drop-in examples in drop-in-examples/:
- 10-* files set platform base settings (non-CoCo, AKS, CBL-Mariner)
- 20-* files overlay specific adjustments (OCI version, guest pull)
Users copy the combination they need into genpolicy-settings.d/.

Replace the old adapt_common_policy_settings_* jq-patching functions
in tests_common.sh with install_genpolicy_drop_ins(), which copies the
right combination of 10-* and 20-* drop-ins for the CI scenario.
Tests still generate 99-test-overrides.json on the fly for per-test
request/exec overrides.

Packaging installs 10-* and 20-* drop-ins from drop-in-examples/ into
the tarball; the default genpolicy-settings.d/ is left empty.

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.
