Kata Containers is an open source project and community working to build a secure container runtime with lightweight virtual machines that feel and perform like containers, but provide stronger workload isolation by taking advantage of hardware virtualization technology as an additional layer of defense.
Collecting metrics in Kubernetes for Kata Containers sandboxes poses unique challenges: once for all, direct inspection of the container workloads is impossible from outside the virtual machine.
We will describe how the collection of container metrics works in Kubernetes for traditional (runc) and Kata Containers runtimes. We will then share what unique metrics are available for Kata Containers workloads, describing the architecture and the involved actors required to make this possible.
