by Tobin Feldman-Fitzthum 14 Dec '23

14 Dec '23

Hey Everyone, We have our CoCo community meeting tomorrow at the usual time of 2:00 PM UTC - 9 AM EST - 10PM CST. We have a lot to talk about. First, I will give an update on my clock. Then we will move on to a series of other announcements. We'll also touch base on the v0.9.0 release before getting to our main topic, which is a presentation about integrating SPIFFE/SPIRE with confidential computing. One of the announcements for tomorrow is that we are probably going to cancel the next two meetings. If I don't see you tomorrow, happy holidays. It's been a great year for our project. If you have a topic for 2024, add it to the agenda. [1] See you soon, Tobin [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GLCzNgrcigUlgWAZYlgqNTdVwiMwCRTJ0QnJh…

Issue with Kata Containers Installation
by Bruno Villodres 24 Nov '23

24 Nov '23

Hi, I have followed the installation steps on GitHub from this URL: https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/blob/main/docs/how-to/co…, but I have encountered a problem that I cannot solve. Firstly, I used 'kata-manager.sh' to install a simple system of Kata Containers, but I noticed that the container doesn't have network interfaces (only loopback). Subsequently, I followed the steps from the URL mentioned above: - I modified the file '/etc/containerd/config.toml.' - I installed and configured CNI plugins and cri-tools as the document explains. - I created the file '/etc/cni/net.d/10-mynet.conf' and copied the content from the document. Nevertheless, my container still does not have network interfaces. I haven't configured '/opt/kata/share/defaults/kata-containers/configuration.toml' since the document doesn't provide any information about that. Finally, I want to mention that I'm working from a virtual machine running Ubuntu 22.04 with virtualization enabled. When I use 'kata-runtime check,' the response indicates that I have a system capable of running Kata, but the issue might be related to the fact that I'm using a virtual machine. I have attached two files in a zip ( '/etc/cni/net.d/10-mynet.conf' and '/etc/containerd/config.toml') and a screenshot from the container showing no interfaces. Please let me know if you need any further information. Best regards, Bruno V [image: image.png]

KubeCon EU 2024 (Paris) CFP closing Nov 26
by Thierry Carrez 23 Nov '23

23 Nov '23

Hi Kata-folk, A quick reminder that the CFP for KubeCon/CloudNativeCon Europe 2024 (which will happen in Paris March 19-22) is closing this week at EOD on Sunday, November 26 ! The OpenInfra Foundation are planning to have a presence there, so it's always good to reinforce it with talks about Kata Containers in the conference part of the event. Who is planning to submit a talk? You can do so at: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe/program/cf… As we work to position Kata Containers as the "secure-by-default" way of running containers, we can always use more introductory-level content. Does anyone plan to propose an "introduction to Kata Containers" style talk? If nobody does, I might propose one, but y'all are far more adequate to present on the subject than I am, so I'll happily yield :) Regards, -- Thierry Carrez

KubeCon North America - Chicago 23 RECAP
by Treva Williams 22 Nov '23

22 Nov '23

Greetings everyone, Kata Containers has enjoyed a strong presence at KubeCon with 2023 being no different. Following up on momentum gained earlier this year at KubeCon EU, Kata Containers had a full booth at KubeCon North America, which just happened November 6-9th 2023 in Chicago, Illinois. This afforded an excellent opportunity to evangelize the greatness that is Kata Containers the software & community with an audience that has consistently shown significant interest in the project. Both Kata Containers & Confidential Containers have enjoyed rapidly increasing popularity at KubeCon, most recently displayed at KubeCon Chicago where floods of current Kata Herders as well as the Kata-curious came to learn more about containers with their own kernel. Visitors with backgrounds ranging from university students looking for an engaging side project to CTOs looking to harden public cloud infrastructure were enchanted by Kata’s flexibility & especially impressed by its user-friendliness, a direct pay-off of the Kata community’s dedication to making Kata Containers as user-accessible as possible. In addition to numerous current users from companies like Microsoft, Apple, & Northflank stopping by to share updates on how Kata Containers has been working for them, one of the more fun outcomes from KubeCon Chicago were a number of interesting questions that came from those newly introduced to the project, ranging from more traditional use cases such as running Kata Containers on Windows with Gvisor, to pondering the possibility of incorporating Kata into home network setups, to Kata Containers’ current & future usage capabilities in artificial intelligence & machine learning. If you have a few moments free & would like to help out, feel free to grab a question or two from the KubeCon Etherpad[1] to answer, which will be converted into follow-up blog posts. While I’m sure that most of the community is already aware, a visitor from the Containerd[2] folks dropped by to remind us of changes coming in Containerd 2.0[2] - currently in beta - that may have an effect on Kata Containers. If you have follow-up questions regarding these changes, please feel free to reach out to me at any time to discuss further. While there weren’t as many Kata+Coco sessions accepted this round as there were at KubeCon EU back in April, we were still on the schedule with Kata+CoCo guru Jens Friedman delivering a presentation detailing the importance of securing the Kubernetes control plane with Confidential Containers, supplemented by Moritz Ekhert’s robust overview of use cases that clearly demonstrated the need for the encryption, isolation & attestation provided by Confidential Computing in enterprise environments. Videos of these sessions should be released soon, so please keep an eye out! Overall, what I saw was the result of 6 years of hard work and dedication from Kata Herders to not only build and maintain an efficient, powerful, lightweight & secure software, but also the outcome of your noticeable desire & passion for assuring a solid learning foundation for new users & developers alike. It is noticed, & it is very much appreciated. So let’s keep the good vibes going! Call for Proposals for KubeCon EU[6] - held in Paris, France March 19-22 2024 is open until November 26th at 11:59 Central European Time (UTC+1). If you’d like some help with putting together an outstanding abstract or would like to chat through some ideas, feel free to ping me. I’m happy to help. If you would prefer to listen over reading, then please join the next Architecture Committee meeting, happening Tuesday November 28th at 1500UTC where I will give a live recap of KubeCon Chicago for Kata Containers, & please feel free to add any additional topics you would like to discuss to the agenda in the meantime. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out any time either via email, or just ping @trilliams on Slack. Thanks everyone, & Happy Holidays for those of you who celebrate.

09 Nov '23

Hey Everyone, We have our CoCo community meeting tomorrow at 2:00 PM UTC - 9 AM EST - 10PM CST. Note that our meeting time is set in UTC, so if you are no longer experience daylight saving time, the meeting time might appear to be different for you. For instance, if you are in the United States, the meeting will now appear to be one hour earlier at 9AM EST. Assuming we aren't all an hour late to the meeting, we have a lot to talk about. First we'll go over the v0.8.0 release which is now very close to being out the door. We can take some time to discuss v0.9.0 as well. We will also talk about how to do extend the operator to handle updates. As usual, feel free to add something to the agenda. [1] See you soon, Tobin [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GLCzNgrcigUlgWAZYlgqNTdVwiMwCRTJ0QnJh…
