virtio-fs is approaching a 1.0 release where it will be suitable for wider usage. Sebastien has also gotten virtio-fs working with Firecracker so that both Kata VMMs can support it.
Is there interest in merging virtio-fs 1.0 Linux and QEMU into Kata's repositories? There is a strong interest, yes. I am wondering if we should enable virtio-fs first in NEMU (Which we support with Kata) to allow for an easy preview of virtio-fs and then switch to the latest QEMU once virtio-fs support lands upstream.
This would allow Kata users to try out virtio-fs without waiting for all components to land upstream. Indeed. And there is a real demand for that.
Cheers, Samuel.
