Hi,

I mentioned at next meeting presenting the work and ideas which we have been trying out for s390x around the image pull challenges and future ideas.
With holidays in China for our main presenter and KubeCon next week I hope it will be OK for us to present this and some ideas for possible extensions to shim api etc the following week?
So Thursday 13th May.

Thanks

Thanks everyone for joining today's meeting, very interesting
discussions.

Please note that we decided to move to a weekly cadence, we have a lot
to talk about it seems.

Below you will find the meeting minutes, extracted from the rolling
meeting notes document [1]

* Current set of pull requests related to enablement (3 PRs)
 - How do we want to proceed with those PRs?
 - Samuel thinks that merging the TDX could help overall (a few more
   comments to request). The idea would be to rebase the 2 others on top of
   this one. Any objections?
 - We agree to merge the framework first and pile the other patches on top
   of it :-)

* Agent API - discussion on what API restrictions we need (build time option or not)
 - What is the risk of having this code in the image however just not used?
 - It could be a runtime configuration for the agent however still part of
   the image (inside the initrd)
 - We may have benefits from restricting the APIs (reducing attack surface)
 - Could we limit things to always getting all the pod configuration at
   once (and nothing else?)
 - So the idea would be to drop those APIs for all use cases

* Container image service offload
 - PEV raksh codebase ->
https://github.com/IBM/raksh-agent/commit/14b52fae8c7bc3ce4b226703efdb37749ce84fe9

* Testing for confidential computing - and general expectations
 - A big question regarding how to test the different platform so it’s
   something accessible upstream (SEV and TDX)
 - Intel will provide HW for testing as part of the kata CI
 - Can AMD also provide HW for the kata CI?
 - Sandeep pointed out they have the HW for this however the question is
   how to make the HW available for kata CI testing
 - What tests would we want to run in this case?
 - Samuel will pull Salvador to look into this
 - We may start by looking at the integration tests and later on E2E
   integration with k8s

* Action Items
 - Ariel to change the name of the meeting to confidential computing
 - Ariel to change the meeting cadence to a weekly one
 - Samuel to send a doodle to poll for meeting time changes
