virtio-fs + VM Templating
by Mahalingam, Ganesh 01 Sep '25

01 Sep '25

Peng, Stefan, While working on enabling virtio-fs on Kata there was a small confusion on whether virtio-fs can work with VM Templating. With the current setup of kata, VM templating and virtio-fs are mutually exclusive (VM templating is enabled in qemu-lite and virtio-fs currently only with NEMU), but they will converge very soon. An open question we had was, would they both work with each other given that VM templating turns off memory sharing for all VMs other than the first one and virtio-fs expects guest memory be shared & file-backed for all VMs. Can both these features to be enabled in kata at the same time and if so, what are we missing to get to that end point? I will open a bug once we know what needs to be worked on to make this happen. -- Ganesh

by Tobin Feldman-Fitzthum 31 Aug '23

31 Aug '23

Hey Everyone, Tomorrow we have our CoCo community meeting at the usual time of 2:00 PM UTC - 10 AM EDT - 10PM CST. We will take some time to touch on the v0.8.0 release as well as the merge to main. There are still a lot of moving pieces for both those efforts, so we'll make sure that we are still going in the right direction. Then we will talk about how we can improve the contributor guides for our project. At the moment they aren't very good, and there are a few things we should think about together that can help get us unstuck. We will also hear from Christophe about another potential use case for Confidential Containers. As usual, feel free to add something to the agenda. [1] See you soon, Tobin [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GLCzNgrcigUlgWAZYlgqNTdVwiMwCRTJ0QnJh…

Fwd: Call for Mentors & Projects - Boston University Students
by Kendall Nelson 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

Hello Everyone! As some of you might know, we have had a working relationship with Boston University once a year where students actively participate in our OpenInfra project communities. The semester in which the Fundamentals of Cloud Computing (the course where we collaborate with them)( is approaching. September 5 is when the course begins and it runs until December 21. The course is a senior/graduate-level class that includes a semester-long capstone-like project, with the projects being proposed and supervised by an industry mentor. The projects are completed in teams of 5-7 students, who are expected to spend 5-8 hours per week on the project over the 13-week term, with presentations to the class every two weeks to evaluate their progress. *So! If you know of a project you would like to propose, please let me know ASAP! The professor would like to have the finalized list of projects to offer students by the first week in September. * Let me know if you have any other questions! -Kendall Nelson
