<br>
The candidacy period has closed and we have 6 candidates for 3 seats:<br>
<br>
- Archana Shinde<br>
- Eric Ernst<br>
- Fabiano Fidêncio<br>
- Feng Wang<br>
- Fupan Li<br>
- Gerry Liu<br>
<br>
See the elections repo [1] for more details on each candidate's background and manifest.<br>
<br>
The actual voting period will start on November 22nd and before that we are going through a Q&A period.<br>
Each and everyone is free to ask questions to our candidates, on this mailing list.<br>
<br>
Fabiano already sent a question [2], and I'll ask another one:<br>
<br>
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.<br>
What do you think are the next cloud-native use cases that we could enable and support with Kata Containers?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>WASM workloads support is another hot topic at the moment, and thanks to the work being done by teawater (see: <a href="https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/pull/4032">https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/pull/4032</a>), that's something we should merge and advertise well, as Kata Containers will be a reasonable / suitable option for such workloads.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
