guest kernel needs 64 bytes of DRAM per 4K page of emulated PMEM, hence the image size should be as small as possible to reduce the container's memory footprint. The image size is recalculated automatically if it's too small to contain the rootfs. Signed-off-by: Julio Montes <julio.montes@intel.com>
Kata Containers image generation
A Kata Containers disk image is generated using the image_builder.sh script.
This uses a rootfs directory created by the rootfs-builder/rootfs.sh script.
Creating a guest OS image
To create a guest OS image run:
$ sudo ./image_builder.sh path/to/rootfs
Where path/to/rootfs is the directory populated by rootfs.sh.
Note
: If you are building an image from an Alpine rootfs, see the important note here.
Further information
For more information about usage (including how to adjust the size of the image), run:
