Deprecation of PMEM and 9P
by Zvonko Kaiser 27 Nov '24

27 Nov '24

Dear Kata Containers Community, We plan to deprecate two QEMU features, starting with PMEM in 3.12 and 9P in 3.13. The next 3.12 release is scheduled for mid-December. Until then, please leave a comment on https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/pull/10492 if you need any of those two (PMEM or 9P) features. We're upgrading QEMU to 9.1.1 to enable iommufd support for VFIO devices, which is the new backend for VFIO. This will improve performance and security. In addition to iommufd, the new release will have many improvements and bug fixes. If you have any questions or concerns, please reply to this email or leave a comment on the PR above. Thanks, Zvonko

Confidential Containers Community Meeting 10/31/24
by Tobin Feldman-Fitzthum 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

Hey Cocos, Tomorrow we have a special spooky Halloween community meeting. It will take place at 2:00 PM UTC - 10 AM EDT - 10PM CST. Keep in mind that the meeting is in UTC time. If you are no longer experiencing daylight saving time, the meeting will appear to be an hour earlier. Our first spooky topic will be an overview of the CI status board and some talk about improvements to the board. We will also talk about our incubation work an use cases. Our main discussion will focus on a proposal to add state to the policy engine. As usual if you have any ideas for future topics, please add them to the meeting agenda. [1] Btw, I am thinking about discontinuing these meeting emails in favor of posting on the slack. Any thoughts? See you soon, Tobin [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GLCzNgrcigUlgWAZYlgqNTdVwiMwCRTJ0QnJh…

Hello Cocos, We have our community meeting at the usual time of 2:00 PM UTC - 10 AM EDT - 10PM CST (but watch out because daylight saving time is either ending or starting soon). We'll kick things off with a couple announcements and then get into an interesting technical topic: UKI (not to be confused with UKIP). Vitaly will help us understand what this is, how we're already using it in CoCo, how it's relevant to confidential computing, and how we might want to expand our usage of it. If you have any topics for a future meeting, please add them to the agenda. [1] See you soon, Tobin [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GLCzNgrcigUlgWAZYlgqNTdVwiMwCRTJ0QnJh…

2024 H2 Kata Containers Architecture Committee elections - Welcome our new committee!
by Ildiko Vancsa 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

Hi Kata Community, On behalf of myself, Ildikó Váncsa (@ildikov), Alex Lyn (@Apokleos), and Steve Horsman (@stevenhorsman) as the approved election officials, it's a pleasure to announce that we've already reached the end of the election process.While we've received four nomations for the three available seats, we had one of the candidates withdrawing their nomination during the campaign period. This left us with three eligible candidates for the three available seats, with the resulting AC containing no more than two members with the same affiliation. As such, we shall bypass the voting phase and move on directly to the announcement of the results.The three seats up for election go to the following candidates: - Aurélien Bombo (@sprt) - Fupan Li (@lifupan) - Greg Kurz (@gkurz) Please welcome back Fupan Li and Greg Kurz as returning members, as well as Aurélien Bombo as new member. Congratulations to you all! Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community Open Infrastructure Foundation

Hello Cocos, We have our community meeting tomorrow at the usual time of 2:00 PM UTC - 10 AM EDT - 10PM CST. We have a bunch of things to talk about. First we'll take a few open issues from the floor and then we'll hear a proposal about ephemeral storage. This should be an important chance for the community to give feedback on the design of a new feature. We will also continue our discussion of use-cases from last week. If you have anything for a future meeting, please add it to the agenda. [1] See you soon, Tobin [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GLCzNgrcigUlgWAZYlgqNTdVwiMwCRTJ0QnJh…

Confidential Containers Community Meeting - 2024/10/03
by Samuel Ortiz 03 Oct '24

03 Oct '24

Hey Folks, Same time, same place, we have our weekly CoCo meeting tomorrow (10/03) at 2:00 PM UTC - 10:00 AM EDT - 10:00 PM CST. This week we will start rambling again with opens, and certainly spend a few minutes talking about the 0.10.0 release and the upcoming ones. As we're seeing a lot of questions on Slack about 0.10.0 (and 0.9.0), Steve suggested that we also look at the current state of our documentation. Finally, Pradipta and the Use Case gang will present their latest work and give the community an update. If you have other topics in mind for tomorrow or for the upcoming weeks, let us or the agenda know [1]. See you All tomorrow. Cheers, Samuel.

Confidential Containers Community Meeting 9/26/24
by Tobin Feldman-Fitzthum 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

Hello CoCos, I hope everybody was able to find something to do last week during our meeting time (2:00 PM UTC - 10 AM EDT - 10PM CST). This week we come back with a bang. Of course, we first need to figure out what's going on with our release, which is half-way out the door. Our main topic will be a recap of the confidential talks at LPC and KVM forum. In some ways this is the forefront of confidential computing development. It's incredibly valuable to know what is happening a bit lower on the stack, so we'll try to remember all of the interesting discussions from Vienna and Brno. If one of these topics catches your eye we can also invite some of the speakers to come to future CoCo meetings. If you have any other topics for a future meeting, please add it to the agenda. [1] See you soon, Tobin [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GLCzNgrcigUlgWAZYlgqNTdVwiMwCRTJ0QnJh…

Hi Folks, A reminder that today's CoCo meeting is cancelled, as many of us are attending the Linux Plumbers Conference, in Vienna. If you're around for LPC, or for any other OSS summit co-hosted conferences, please swing by and say hi. Tobin, myself and a few usual suspects will be there. Cheers, Samuel.
