Cloud API Adaptor

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.
