Confidential Containers Community Meeting 3/31/22
by Tobin Feldman-Fitzthum 31 Mar '22

31 Mar '22

Hey Everyone, We have our community meeting tomorrow at 2:00 PM UTC - 10 AM EDT - 10PM CST. Note that if you live someplace that has just switched to Daylight time (like most of Europe) the meeting will appear to be an hour later than usual. This week we will pick up where we left off last week. After some community updates we will dive back into our discussion on a general Key Broker Service. Haidong and Liang did a great job presenting this last week and tomorrow should be even more interesting. Hopefully we will also have time to take another look at the CII badge. As usual, feel free to add something to the agenda.[1] -Tobin [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GLCzNgrcigUlgWAZYlgqNTdVwiMwCRTJ0QnJh…

Confidential Containers Community Meeting 2022/03/24
by Samuel Ortiz 24 Mar '22

24 Mar '22

Hey Everyone, Another weekly meeting for the Confidential Containers project: It’s tomorrow March 24th, at 2pm UTC (10am EDT - 10pm CST), same place as usual [1]. We have yet another busy agenda, starting with the usual opens and community/project updates. Then Dan Middleton will start the CII best practice discussion [2], something that may take us a few more sessions. But tomorrow we’d also want to leave some time for Jia to present a proposal for a KBS server [3]. We will resume the CII discussion during the next meeting(s). Remember: The agenda is yours, feel free to amend it with anything you’d like to see the community address [1]. Cheers, Samuel.

Confidential Containers Community Meeting 3/17/22
by Tobin Feldman-Fitzthum 17 Mar '22

17 Mar '22

Hello Everyone, We have a CC community meeting tomorrow. Note that if you live in the United States, you are probably on Daylight time now. Our meeting is at 2 PM UTC, which is now 10 AM EDT rather than 9 AM EST as it has been. Those of you in Europe will likely experience something similar at the end of the month. Just remember that the meeting time is fixed at 2PM UTC. You might need to update your calendar invites. We have another busy meeting to look forward to. We will have some general community updates and information about the CNCF onboarding process. There are now a bunch of open issues in the Community repo regarding onboarding. You might want to take a look at them. [1] We will also see an exciting demo of signature verification and we will discuss how and when we can merge the Kata CC branch into main. As usual, please add topics for this or future meetings to the agenda.[2] -Tobin [1] https://github.com/orgs/confidential-containers/projects/2 [2] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GLCzNgrcigUlgWAZYlgqNTdVwiMwCRTJ0QnJh…

2022-03 AC elections: Announcing Samuel Ortiz candidacy
by Samuel Ortiz 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Name: Samuel Ortiz Email: samuel.e.ortiz(a)protonmail.com Background: I am a software engineer at Apple, where I work on container and virtualization related projects. More than 4 years ago, I attended the foundational meeting between us (I was working at Intel back then), Hyper and the OpenStack Foundation. We merged Clear Containers and Hyper Runv into what became Kata Containers a few months later. Even though I've been working on and contributing to many other open souce projects since then, the excitement I feel about Kata Containers, its community and its innovation potential, is intact. Running `uname -a` on a Kata Containers never gets old to me. Especially when the host operating system is not Linux ;-) Over the past year, I dedicated some of my time on a new cloud capability: Confidential Computing. This is a very disruptive technology, that redefines and expands the cloud threat model, and I truly believe that Kata Containers has the potential to become a foundational Confidential Computing software component. I think that Confidential Computing will eventually become the default security setting for cloud native applications, and in my mind that can only happen with the Kata Containers runtime. This is what I want to help this community achieve over the next couple of years. Another recent personal source of excitement for me is the ability to run Linux containers on top of non Linux host operating systems, like Darwin for example. This does not come easy, as we have spent all those years assuming we will always be walking on top of a cozy Linux kernel. In the upcoming months, I want to break that assumption and use the Darwin enablement as a forcing function to clean our code base through saner, OS-agnostic abstractions. Finally, I want to confess something: I love writing Rust code. It's not easy to admit, especially after initially cursing so much at the borrow checker. But I listened to it and learned, and my appreciation for the language and its unique features steadily grew to eventually become a favorite of mine. That's why I'm very excited about us writing a new Rust runtime, taking this rewrite as an opportunity to build a more integrated and efficient architecture. I want to make sure that we learn from both our mistakes and our victories, to build a new code base that synthesizes those learnings. And at the same time, knowing how steep the Rust learning curve can be, I also want to keep this new implementation accessible to our community and contributors. Cheers, Samuel

Announcing Tao Peng's candidacy for the Architecture Committee Election
by Peng Tao 12 Mar '22

12 Mar '22

Name: Tao Peng Email: bergwolf(a)hyper.sh, bergwolf(a)antgroup.com Background: I am a staff engineer at Ant Group. My primary focus is container infrastructure related technologies. I have been deeply engaged in Kata Containers since the start of the project, both in development and community. I continue to be very interested in the project and want to be part of the efforts to ensure its success. I have served as a member of the Kata architecture committee. And I'm running again in the new round of the architecture committee election. I have been an active contributor in the past in many different areas across the runtime and the agent. I served as a member of the vulnerability management team, the review team and the release management team. I also advocated the project in various open source events, conferences and meetups. Within Ant Group, our team is responsible for the large scale Kata Containers deployment in production. We have been pioneers in new features and new architectures of Kata. We believe it is very important to bridge production requirements and upstream development. We have been actively engaged in the upstream development in the past, and will continue to do so in the future. Since its foundation, Kata Containers has matured quite a bit with an expanding user-base. There are still a lot of exciting things to do. One area is better integration in the container ecosystem. It has been a goal of the project since the very beginning. And the current focus is the improved integration with CNI/CSI/CRI. We expect to have a more VM-friendly interface that will help to improve our performance and efficiency. Another exciting thing is the integrated rust runtime. It continues to innovate with cloud-native virtualization in mind and makes all Kata components work tightly together, further reduce Kata's resource overhead and management complexity. Last but not least, the Confidential Containers support expands the Kata Containers threat model from protecting the infrastructure to also protecting the workloads. It is a very appealing direction and attracts a lot of community interests. Kata Containers 3.0 release is paving its way to be a real thing. These features will certainly be important part of Kata 3.0. I look forward to continuing to contribute and help the project thrive. Cheers, Tao -- Into something rich and strange.

Confidential Containers Community Meeting 2022/03/10
by Samuel Ortiz 10 Mar '22

10 Mar '22

Hi Folks, Tomorrow, March 10th, we’re having our weekly community meeting. Same place [1], same time (2pm UTC - 9am EST - 10pm CST) Usually we start the meeting with project and community updates but tomorrow I’d like to spend some time celebrating 2 milestones: 1. It’s been one year that we started this project 2. Coincidentally we got some very good news from the CNCF TOC meeting on Tuesday: We are accepted as a CNCF Sandbox project! We’ll celebrate for sure, but we will also start discussing about the next steps and the short term actions we now need to take [2]. Then we will spend the rest of the meeting giving the regular updates. Finally, if time allows, we will have Jiale and Liang giving a demo about image signing, and Steve resuming the discussion about the CCv0 merge. Once more: Please add anything you’d like to discuss next week or the weeks after that to the “Future Topics” section at [1]. I’ll see you All tomorrow! Samuel.
