| kata-irc-bot | <eric.ernst> Are there any issues / docs around ```InterVM communication, ivshmem ``` | 17:26 |
|---|---|---|
| kata-irc-bot | <zkaiser> Those are my topics. | 18:23 |
| kata-irc-bot | <zkaiser> I wanted to know if and how we're going to support PCI(e) in general with the new VMM written in Rust. AFAIK it is based of firecracker but firecracker has also no PCI support at all. | 18:24 |
| kata-irc-bot | <zkaiser> I talked to the firecracker guys and they plan to implement something next yera. | 18:24 |
| kata-irc-bot | <zkaiser> Other questions would be how long is Kata 2.x suppported besides Kata 3.0, | 18:25 |
| kata-irc-bot | <zkaiser> I want to make sure that people/partners/projects using GPUs in Kata are having a supported envrionment | 18:26 |
| kata-irc-bot | <zkaiser> @eric.ernst FYI | 18:26 |
| kata-irc-bot | <zkaiser> The InterVM communication is also something we (NV) need in Kata for various use-cases. | 18:26 |
| kata-irc-bot | <zkaiser> I have several PRs in flight and prepared for the whole topic on PCI(e) but need someone to review it. | 18:27 |
| kata-irc-bot | <zkaiser> The idea is to have a decent implementation in QEMU and apply the lessons learned in Kata 3.0 especially on enabling accelerators like GPU + Mellanox NICs for GPUDirect RDMA. | 18:28 |
| kata-irc-bot | <zkaiser> I know or experienced the lack of a proper handling of such devices, once the PRs are reviewed we will have far more control in Kata then we have now. | 18:30 |
| kata-irc-bot | <zkaiser> I can help with the PCI(e) topology/space implementation if it is planned and considered "correctly". | 18:36 |
| kata-irc-bot | <fidencio> @zkaiser, the runtime will be in rust, there'll be the option to have runtime + vmm integrated, but other VMMs will still be supported as they are nowadaus | 18:58 |
| kata-irc-bot | <fidencio> So, QEMU support, for instance, will NOT be dropped | 18:58 |
| kata-irc-bot | <zkaiser> Ok this is something I understood differently on the Kata 3.0 issue when asked ... Literally "you're welcome to enable other VMMs" | 18:59 |
| kata-irc-bot | <fidencio> No, no. Support will be there before we fully switch, but Ali / Ant will not be writing that support for all the VMMs, community will have to step up and contribute. | 19:00 |
