Hi, I am Harshavardhan Unnibhavi. I am one of QEMU's google summer of code students for this year. I will be working with Fabiano Fidêncio and Stefano Garzarella on developing a vhost-user-vsock application and integrating it with Kata Container.
Kata Containers leverage virtio-vsock to create a communication channel between the runtime in the host and the agent in the guest. Since, Kata Containers focus on security moving this device emulation into an external user space process is very attractive. Hence, in this project, we aim to realize an application, written in rust, that will leverage the vhost-user protocol to emulate the virtio-vsock device in an external process. This application would then be integrated into Kata Containers. I am looking forward to working on this very cool project! I also look forward to learning from and interacting with the community. Best, Harsha
