Fabiano Fidêncio 64c139208f agent: add GetDiagnosticData RPC with termination log support
Add a new extensible GetDiagnosticData RPC that retrieves diagnostic
information from the guest VM. The request carries a log_type string
field to specify what kind of data is requested, and a container_id
field to identify the target container.

The first supported log_type is "termination_log", which reads the
Kubernetes termination message file from inside the guest. This is
needed for shared_fs=none configurations where the host cannot
directly access the guest filesystem.

On the Go runtime side, the container stop() path now calls
GetDiagnosticData to copy the termination message to the host
when running with NoSharedFS and the terminationMessagePolicy
annotation is set to "File". The call is best-effort: failures
are logged as warnings rather than blocking container teardown.

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.
