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.
