Dear Kata Citizens,
The candidacy period has closed and we have 6 candidates for 3 seats:
- Archana Shinde - Eric Ernst - Fabiano Fidêncio - Feng Wang - Fupan Li - Gerry Liu
See the elections repo [1] for more details on each candidate's background and manifest.
The actual voting period will start on November 22nd and before that we are going through a Q&A period. Each and everyone is free to ask questions to our candidates, on this mailing list.
Fabiano already sent a question [2], and I'll ask another one:
The Confidential Containers initiative has grown into its own, CNCF sandbox project and this is a remarkable example of how Kata Containers can be used to enable complex use cases. What do you think are the next cloud-native use cases that we could enable and support with Kata Containers?
One of the things that some companies are already working on, but we still don't have a reasonable amount of documentation / examples upstream is Function-as-a-Service with Kata Containers. We can do a lot in this space with VM Caching and really lightweight VMMs (be it Cloud Hypervisor, Firecracker, or Dragonball), and I sincerely think we should be exploring and advertising Kata Containers as a reasonable solution in this area. WASM workloads support is another hot topic at the moment, and thanks to the work being done by teawater (see: https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/pull/4032), that's something we should merge and advertise well, as Kata Containers will be a reasonable / suitable option for such workloads. Those are the one coming from the top of my head and that I think will generate an immediate impact on the project and on the users, if well advertised.
Cheers, Samuel.
