Fabiano Fidêncio ede34696f0 config: boot composable base-nvidia image + gpu/coco extensions
Flip the runtime-rs NVIDIA GPU configs (plain/tdx/snp) from the monolithic
image to the driver-agnostic base-nvidia boot image plus a cold-plugged,
driver-versioned gpu extension mounted at /run/kata-extensions/gpu.
Confidential runtime-rs configs additionally cold-plug the CoCo
guest-components extension and enforce the base-nvidia dm-verity hash.

The Go runtime keeps booting the monolithic nvidia-gpu / nvidia-gpu-confidential
images, mirroring the CoCo split where runtime-rs is the first-class citizen and
Go stays on the monolithic layout.

Add the IMAGE{NAME,PATH}_NV_{BASE,EXTENSION} and NVIDIAGPUEXTENSIONVERITYPARAMS
make vars (runtime-rs only), and read the base-nvidia + gpu-extension root
hashes into runtime-rs's shim-v2 opts while the Go opts keep reading the
monolithic nvidia-gpu / nvidia-gpu-confidential hashes.

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.
