Explore the challenges and current state of running Kata Containers on Cloud Service Provider (CSP) instances in this 41-minute conference talk. Examine the technical hurdles beyond the obvious performance gaps with nested virtualization, including virtual storage support, Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) limitations, and the varying virtualization capabilities available on different CSP platforms. Learn about the sustainability challenges in the ecosystem, where improvements are often closed-source or maintained by individual companies, creating difficulties for community-wide adoption even when solutions are upstreamed. Discover insights into upcall support, Protected Virtual Machine (PVM) and VMM readiness, CSP storage solutions, Container Storage Interface (CSI) integration, and peer-pods architecture as potential paths forward for secure container deployment in cloud environments.
