Learn about using Kata Containers in Kubernetes.

By default, containers are created using the default runc runtime engine. You can also use the kata-runtime runtime engine to create Kata Containers.

Kata Containers uses lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs) to provide extra security and isolation of workloads. Kata Containers are quick to develop and deploy, and plug directly into the container ecosystem.

Kata Containers is a component of Oracle CNE and based on a stable release of the upstream Kata Containers project. Differences between Oracle versions of the software and upstream releases are limited to Oracle-specific fixes and patches for specific bugs.
