Known Kata Container Limitations

This section describes the known limitations when using Kata containers.

SR-IOV Support

A minimal kernel and rootfs for Kata containers are shipped with , and are present at /usr/share/kata-containers/. To enable certain kernel features such as IOMMU (I/O memory management unit), and desired network kernel modules, a custom kernel image, and rootfs has to be built. For more information, see https://katacontainers.io/.

CPU Manager Support

Kata containers currently occupy only the platform cores. There is no CPU (Central Processing Unit) manager support.

Hugepages

  • Similar to the SR-IOV limitation, hugepage support must be configured in a custom Kata kernel.
  • The size and number of hugepages must be written using the io.katacontainers.config.hypervisor.kernel\_params annotation.
  • Creating a hugetlbfs mount for hugepages in the Kata container is specific to the end user application.
