# Kata Containers

[Kata Containers](https://katacontainers.io/)是结合了 [Intel Clear Containers](https://github.com/clearcontainers/runtime) 和 [Hyper runV](https://github.com/hyperhq/runv) 两项开源技术而诞生轻量级虚拟机（lightweight Virtual Machines, VMs）。

kata containers提供了负载隔离和VMs的安全优点，同时执行性能类似容器。

> 有点类似近期接触过的[容器模式在Linux中安装和运行Android Apps(APKs)](https://github.com/huataihuang/cloud-atlas-draft/tree/6f3204fffc11cf006abd394631e2598d98b415c3/develop/android/linux/install_and_run_android_apps_on_linux_in_container/README.md)中所介绍的[Anbox](https://github.com/anbox/anbox)（Anbox采用了Linux namespaces来提供Android系统容器，但是硬件访问通过anbox的daemon，实际是基于QEMU模拟）

这项结合了容器和QEMU的轻量级虚拟化技术目标是综合容器的性能和虚拟化的安全隔离，对于特定的应用目标有一定的优势。

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://huataihuang.gitbook.io/cloud-atlas-draft/virtual/kata_containers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
