Quotes from the cloud-hypervisor release v15.0:
This release is the first in a new version numbering scheme to represent that
we believe Cloud Hypervisor is maturing and entering a period of stability.
With this new release we are beginning our new stability guarantees.
Other highlights from the latest release include: 1) Network device rate
limiting; 2) Support for runtime control of `virtio-net` guest offload;
3) `--api-socket` supports file descriptor parameter; 4) Bug fixes on
`virtio-pmem`, PCI BARs alignment, `virtio-net`, etc.; 5) Deprecation of
the "LinuxBoot" protocol for ELF and bzImage in the coming release.
Details can be found: https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor/releases/tag/v15.0
Note: The client code of cloud-hypervisor's OpenAPI is automatically
generated by `openapi-generator` [1-2]. As the API changes do not
impact usages in Kata, no additional changes in kata's runtime are
needed to work with the current version of cloud-hypervisor.

Kata Containers
Welcome to Kata Containers!
The purpose of this repository is to act as a "top level" site for the project. Specifically it is used:
-
To provide a list of the various other Kata Containers repositories, along with a brief explanation of their purpose.
-
To provide a general area for Raising Issues.
Raising issues
This repository is used for raising issues:
-
That might affect multiple code repositories.
-
Where the raiser is unsure which repositories are affected.
Note:
- If an issue affects only a single component, it should be raised in that components repository.
Kata Containers repositories
CI
The CI repository stores the Continuous Integration (CI) system configuration information.
Community
The Community repository is the first place to go if you want to use or contribute to the project.
Code Repositories
Kata Containers-developed components
Agent
The kata-agent runs inside the
virtual machine and sets up the container environment.
KSM throttler
The kata-ksm-throttler
is an optional utility that monitors containers and deduplicates memory to
maximize container density on a host.
Runtime
The kata-runtime is usually
invoked by a container manager and provides high-level verbs to manage
containers.
Trace forwarder
The kata-trace-forwarder is a component only used
when tracing the agent process.
Additional
Kernel
The hypervisor uses a Linux* kernel to boot the guest image.
Documentation
The docs directory holds documentation common to all code components.
Packaging
We use the packaging to create packages for the system components including rootfs and kernel images.
Test code
The tests repository hosts all test code except the unit testing code (which is kept in the same repository as the component it tests).
Utilities
OS builder
The osbuilder tool can create a rootfs and a "mini O/S" image. This image is used by the hypervisor to setup the environment before switching to the workload.
kata-agent-ctl
kata-agent-ctl is a low-level test tool for
interacting with the agent.
Web content
The www.katacontainers.io repository contains all sources for the https://www.katacontainers.io site.
