Kata Containers will impact you. Yes, you!
summary
Kata Containers 2.0 ships a rewritten in-guest agent in Rust and moves to a single-stream shim v2 to cut memory and streams; the project proves SR‑IOV + DPDK can reach line-rate networking and adds virtio‑fs and DAX work to speed storage. Roadmap covers SELinux, cgroupsv2, OpenShift integration and a Kata operator, CI consolidation and backlog scrubbing, density and boot-time reduction, and prototypes for memory‑encrypted VMs and live migration to let different kernels and confidential computing run per-pod.
