Kata Containers Architecture Committee Candidacy: Gerry Liu
by Gmail 11 Nov '22

11 Nov '22

Name: Gerry Liu Email: gerry at linux dot alibaba dot com Background I’m a software engineer at Alibaba Cloud, working on Operating System and cloud infrastructure related technologies. I have rich development experiences about Linux kernel, container image acceleration, rust based micro-vm and confidential containers. Since 2019 I’m working on technologies related to Kata Containers, and is one of the advocators to rustify Kata Containers. I have also contributed to Kata agent-rs, runtime-rs, embedded Dragonball vmm and Nydus image acceleration service. During last year I have put much efforts to enable new features for Kata Containers, such as 1) introduced/contributed runtime-rs/Dragonball to Kata 3.0 2) enhanced td-shim and image-rs to support confidential containers 3) helped to integrate Nydus with Kata 4) put Kata into production with large deploy base In the coming year, I plan to cooperate with the community to work on following topics: 1) make runtime-rs/Dragonball as the default option 2) enhance Dragonball to support confidential containers 3) enhance Dragonball to better support GPUs, other accelerators and DPUs. 4) share more code base between Dragonball and Cloud Hypervisor And most importantly I will help to integrate Kata Containers into OpenAnolis Linux distribution and enlarge the user base:) Thanks, Gerry

Candidacy for Kata AC elections: Archana Shinde
by Shinde, Archana M 11 Nov '22

11 Nov '22

Name: Archana Shinde Email: archana.m.shinde(a)intel.com<mailto:archana.m.shinde@intel.com> Background: I am a software engineer at Intel with a focus on open-source technologies for Cloud. I have been a contributor and maintainer since the very beginning of the project and continue to be engaged in the Kata community.I have served on the Kata Containers Architecture committee in the past and would like to announce my candidacy for the upcoming elections so that I can continue to make meaningful contributions to the project in the capacity of Kata AC member.In the last few months, I have spent time optimizing Kata performance in terms of storage and network by leveraging multi-queue support. I also introduced support for linux "io-uring" for async IO operations. I continue to track further improvements made both in linux and qemu in this area to bypass some of the virtue-queues and plan to add support for these for both qemu and cloud-hypervisor. I was also involved in helping out the ACRN folks for adding support for ACRN hypervisor to Kata 2.x in terms of code, design and review. Additionally, I made several improvements to the local kata-deploy build process so that all Kata artifacts can be generated locally without any issues in a nested docker setup. I have started making contributions to the kata-ctl tool in rust and plan to focus my energies on rust support and improving the test coverage for the rust codebase in Kata in the future. Adding rust support for cloud-hypervisor in Kata 3.x would be my primary focus over the next few months.I believe we have a lot of interesting features to be added to Kata in the near future and I look forward to play my part in Kata's continued success. Thanks, Archana Shinde

Kata Containers Architecture Committee Candidacy: Eric Ernst
by Eric Ernst 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

Name: Eric Ernst Email: eric_ernst at apple dot com Background: I am a software engineer at Apple, focused on cloud infrastructure, and I continue to be very invested in this project and have been engaged in the Kata community as a contributor and user. Since the initial discussions of creating Kata started, I have been an active contributor and advocate for the project, both in code and in the greater Kata community/ecosystem. I am running again as I am very interested in this project's success in the ecosystem, and am very focused on making sure Kata continues to be a stable, production-ready solution for providing stronger container isolation. Over the last year, I invested time ensuring that we have a solution for using virtio-blk for PVCs, ensuring we have overhead and sandbox sizing requirements available at Kata sandbox creation time, as well as introducing a method for setting IPtables in the guest to support virtual cluster use cases. One area I'm looking forward to driving this next year is finishing adding support for running shimv2 on Darwin, as well as contributing to the community's peer-pod solutions. We still have a lot of interesting work to do, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to the success of Kata Containers! --Eric

Confidential Containers Community Meeting 11/10/22
by Tobin Feldman-Fitzthum 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

Hey Everyone, Tomorrow we have our CC community meeting at the UNUSUAL time of 2:00 PM UTC - 9 AM EST - 10PM CST. Remember, the meeting is set in UTC, so if you live in the USA (except Arizona et al) or somewhere else that just switched to standard time, the meeting will be an hour earlier. We will take some time to reflect on our first 6-week release assuming we've managed to get it out the door. If not we will try to tie up any last minute issues. Then we will return to the great discussion started two weeks ago regarding API partitioning and some of the work that Christophe, Zhongshu, and Ray have been doing. As usual, check out the full agenda and feel free to add things to it. [1] See you soon, Tobin [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GLCzNgrcigUlgWAZYlgqNTdVwiMwCRTJ0QnJh…

Elections for Kata Architecture Committee: Fupan Li
by fupan li 09 Nov '22

09 Nov '22

Name: Fupan Li Email: lifupan(a)gmail.com Background: I’m one of the Kata Container communities maintainer and active contributor since 2018, during the past few years, I developed the Kata Container shimv2, which promoted Kata Container from multi process model into only two process(shimv2 and vmm) model, at the same time, it made Kata Container much more populated and adoptable in the k8s community. In addition, I’m the author of the rust version of the kata-agent, which bring Kata Containers from 1.0 to 2.0. Last but not lease, I’m the architecture and key developer of the rust version’s kata runtime, which had been opened and contributed to runtime-rs. In addition to that, I worked in Ant Group , which maintained the largest Kata Containers cluster, as an senior engineer, I’m responsible for the implementation and development of the kata container inside Ant, and I am confident that based on my development and land experience on the Ant Group, as well as the maintenance work of the community, I’d try my best to contribute much more to the Kata community.

Elections of Kata Architecture Committee: Feng Wang
by Feng Wang 07 Nov '22

07 Nov '22

Name: Feng Wang Email: feng.wang(a)databricks.com Background: I’m a software engineer at Databricks, where I work on the multi-cloud platform team. I became involved in the project 14 months ago and have been an active contributor and community member since then. At Databricks, Kata Containers has become a foundational piece that drives multiple production use cases. In the near future, we’re expecting to onboard more use cases to Kata Containers at an even larger scale. A stable and high quality Kata Container runtime is critical for our business. The way Databricks uses Kata Containers also tests its limits. Within the past 12 months, we have found several stability bugs, feature and performance gaps. My main motivation is to make Kata Containers more stable and further improve its production quality, which is also essential for increasing its industry adoption. We at Databricks also made several performance improvements on Kata Containers, which I’d love to bring upstream for performance sensitive workloads. I’m also interested in continuing improving the integration between Kata Containers and kubelet/CSI/CNI/CRI, especially on device/resource allocation. Last but not least, I’m very excited with the runtime-rs and would love to help make the migration smooth and uneventful. Regards, Feng

Elections for Kata Architecture Committee: Fabiano Fidêncio
by Fabiano Fidêncio 04 Nov '22

04 Nov '22

Name: Fabiano Fidêncio Email: fabiano(a)fidencio.org Background: I am a Software Engineer, a tattoo canvas for abstract art, a music addict, a goats and pigs instagram follower, and a big fan of old video games. In the past 30 months I dedicated a huge chunk of my professional and personal time contributing to the Kata Containers project and community, with a strong focus on trying to keep the community as healthy as possible, while recently also focusing on efforts in the Confidential Containers space. My involvement with Kata Containers has been intense, to say the least. I've been involved on pretty much every part of the project, and also on projects Kata Containers interacts with. Moreover, I've already been serving the community as a current member of the Kata Containers Architecture Committee. In the enterprise world, while working for Intel, I've worked mostly on leveraging Intel's usage of Kata Containers, and also bringing Intel technologies to the project, such as the TDX support and integration work for Confidential Containers. While I was still working for Red Hat,I worked on making the upstream project a Red Hat's downstream product, passing by Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat CoreOS, and OpenShift components, which led to the OpenShift Sandboxed Containers product, which uses Kata Containers underneath. In the community space, I also have helped on a lot of different parts of the project. connected people to have their problems solved, mentored both newcomers and students into our community, been leading Architecture Committee meetings, helped organise Kata Containers vPTG sessions, presented the project at conferences, worked together with OIF on getting Study Cases published, and helped increase the number of members in our community. I also am hands-on on CI, code-reviewing, development focusing on easing the adoption of the project. I've managed a whole bunch of releases, and have been working as much as possible to grow this community in a healthy way. My main motivations are still to increase Kata Containers adoption in the industry, while ensuring the project is stable and easily consumable. This is more important now than ever as new players are adopting and contributing to the Kata Containers project, and we're transitioning to the runtime-rs. To make it possible, I plan to continue working in the integration bits, while connecting and facilitating the communication between the Kata Containers community and the communities that I am part of. Fabiano Fidêncio (Slack: fidencio) Best Regards, -- Fabiano Fidêncio

AC meeting survey results & alternative solutions
by trilliams | Kata Containers 13 Oct '22

13 Oct '22

Greetings everyone, Thank you to everyone who took time to share feedback on current AC meeting scheduling. After reviewing votes on the last framadate survey ([ https://framadate.org/GO2wwx57RTEOxXWG ]( https://framadate.org/GO2wwx57RTEOxXWG )), the majority of voters have elected to keep the architecture meeting at it's current time of 8am ET/ 3PM UTC/ 11PM CST Based on feedback received so far, the current time slot proves to be uncomfortable for a lot of APAC community members, yet rescheduling to an earlier slot would be inconvenient for those on the west coast. As a compromise, I'd like to propose alternating meeting times weekly to better accommodate those on the other side of the globe. Ex: Aug 30th - 8AM PT/ 3PM UTC/ 11pm CST September 6th - 8PM PT/ 3AM UTC/ 11AM CST Sept 13th - 8AM PT/ 3PM UTC/ 11pm CST ... These are only examples as I don't expect anyone to stay awake until 3AM, but if you find the idea worth exploring I would greatly appreciate feedback on APAC-friendly time slots that (hopefully) won't make anyone too miserable. Surveys are available on Google ([ https://forms.gle/jgJqEq8MSHhACsEVA ]( https://forms.gle/jgJqEq8MSHhACsEVA )) & on Framadate ([ https://framadate.org/1kqEwoL78tkegh1p ]( https://framadate.org/1kqEwoL78tkegh1p )), or if you'd prefer you can reach me by email or on kata-containers slack @trilliams. Thank you all for your time & for making an incredible community. Regards, trilliams OpenInfra Foundation Technical Community Manager IRC: PagliaccisCloud Github: OGtrilliams

Hey everyone, We've got our CC community meeting tomorrow at 2:00 PM UTC - 10 AM EDT - 10PM CST. We'll hear from Ariel about how we can organize issues for the next release. We will also (finally) hear from James regarding standard checks and processes for all our different projects. We will also hear brief updates from teams at Intel and Microsoft about what they have been working on. Remember that we also have a CI-specific meeting on Friday. Check out the agenda for more information. [1] If you've got any ideas for future meetings, please add them to the agenda. Since we're in between releases right now just about anything related to confidential computing could be a great topic. See you soon, Tobin [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GLCzNgrcigUlgWAZYlgqNTdVwiMwCRTJ0QnJh…
