After a little bit more than 3 months of development, Kata Containers 2.3.0 is out of the oven and ready to be tasted.

As part of all the work done during the 2.3 release cycle, we'd like to highlight:

  • Better support for VFIO to enable DPDK workloads
  • Improvements on exposing custom metrics via Kata Monitor
  • Seccomp support
  • Improvements on tracing
  • Improvements on the host cgroups
  • Improvements on the agent's files watcher
  • Swap device support within the guest

We'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this release with suggestions, issues reported, and code provided!

Be aware that with the Kata Containers 2.3.0 being released, Kata Containers 2.2.x reaches its EOL and is no longer maintained.

If you're a Kata Containers user, please, give the new release a try and stay tuned for quite exciting news coming soon. :-)
