Introduction

This repository contains the implementation of Kata remote hypervisor. Kata remote hypervisor enables creation of Kata VMs on any environment without requiring baremetal servers or nested virtualization support.

Goals

• Accept requests from Kata shim to create/delete Kata VM instances without requiring nested virtualization support.
• Manage VM instances in the cloud to run pods using cloud (virtualization) provider APIs
• Forward communication between kata shim on a worker node VM and kata agent on a pod VM
• Provide a mechanism to establish a network tunnel between a worker and pod VMs to Kubernetes pod network

Architecture

The background and description of the components involved in 'peer pods' can be found in the architecture documentation.

Components

• Cloud API adaptor (cmd/cloud-api-adaptor) - cloud-api-adator implements the remote hypervisor support.
• Agent protocol forwarder (cmd/agent-protocol-forwarder)
