@Eric  Thanks a lot will reach out if I need help.

 

@Anne, @jbryce,  Thank you but the legal hurdles are not from your side but ours. I don't know much but I have been told that theres a lot of high performance networking code optimized for Z which IBM wishes to include in the fork and won't like it going out of their control. Second, CI access for open source is proving difficult without the project residing under a IBM/ IBM allied company.

 

Thanks

Great data-point, thanks Yash.

 

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions on the design or if you find anything unexpected from a usability, compatibility, or performance perspective.

 

Cheers,
Eric

Hi,

 

I am an intern with the Open Mainframe Project.

 

First off, you guys are doing an awesome job actively developing Kata. Thanks a lot.

 

Second, we were initially working on porting gvisor. However, considering the stability and performance of Kata, we have decided to drop gvisor and we will now be working on porting Kata to the IBM Z mainframe platform. This fork would as of now reside under Qata Containers. I would personally love to have the port incorporated into Qata however, some managerial and legal issues remain a hurdle. Once those are sorted and if the community agrees, we would love to merge the port into Kata.

 

The port is not complete yet. Hence, its not publicly available yet. I am just writing this mail to thank you and inform you about the same.
