From elite engineering teams managing online banking infrastructure to part-time admin hosting a food blog, & everyone in between, security is (hopefully) a top priority for us all. Old school admins who prefer to err on the side of caution might like the sound of CloudNative technology turning their pets into cattle, but pause at mention of shared resources. Fortunately about 5 years back, a combination of the best qualities of Intel Clear Containers & Hyper runV resulted in an amazing discovery - a container can be just as secure as a standard virtual machine while remaining lightning fast, & it can have its own kernel. That discovery, hereon known as Kata Containers, is an open source project and community working to build a standard implementation of lightweight Virtual Machines that feel and perform like containers with the workload isolation and security advantages of VMs. If you’d like to know more, join our session to learn about how Kata Containers came to be.
