Thanks to the 40 members who joined us to celebrate Kata Containers 4.0 at OpenInfra Summit in Shanghai! Co-founder Xu Wang shared reflections on how far the project has come and what's next for the community. Want to contribute? Get started today: katacontainers.io

When agents go into production, what infrastructure underneath is needed to support them? At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + OpenInfra Summit China, Yaya Xia explores how Kata Containers and Kubernetes Agent Sandbox deliver an open runtime for AI agents.

Xu Wang is in Shanghai, mapping out an open agent runtime powered by Kata Containers. Over the last 9 years, Ant Group has been working with the community to simplify the Kata Containers runtime from multiple services to a single service. All in Rust! For a faster and simpler VMM.

Welcome to Day 1 of the #OpenInfraSummit! The OpenInfra team is excited to be joining our friends from the PyTorch and Cloud Native communities to kick off the day with Keynotes!
