Kata Containers | openEuler

Current Kata Containers images are built on the openEuler. This repository is free to use and exempted from per-user rate limits.

Kata Containers is an open-source secure container runtime that runs each container inside a lightweight virtual machine, combining the security isolation of VMs with the speed and manageability of containers. It is a CNCF incubating project. This image includes three core Go components from the src/runtime module: kata-runtime (OCI-compatible runtime), containerd-shim-kata-v2 (containerd integration shim), and kata-monitor (monitoring and metrics component).
