Fabiano Fidêncio fefc0b75ab kata-deploy: nvidia: Default to the Job-based deployment mode
Switch the NVIDIA GPU example values file to install Kata via the
Job-based deployment mode (deploymentMode: job) instead of the
always-on, privileged DaemonSet, so that nothing keeps running on the
node once the install completes.

To exercise this in our CI, make the helm_helper aware of the deployment
mode coming from the (base) values file:

  - In "job" mode, clear job.nodeSelectorExpressions so the dispatcher
    targets every discovered node.  Our CI clusters are typically
    single-node, where the only node carries the control-plane label,
    and the default selector excludes control-plane/master nodes.

  - There is no always-on DaemonSet to wait on in "job" mode.  The
    dispatcher runs as a blocking post-install hook and the final
    per-node stage labels the node, so wait until at least one node
    carries the katacontainers.io/kata-runtime label as the
    "install complete" signal (dumping Job/pod logs on timeout).

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.
