Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Speed boost achievement unlocked on Docker Desktop 4.6 for Mac
Both Kata Containers and UTM support virtio-fs, so this is not strictly true. The former can be used as a stand-in replacement for the runtime used by docker desktop[1]. With the latter, one could use a UTM-backed guest as a docker runtime in macOS[2] or run docker directly on the guest[3].

Kubernetes Security Checklist 2021
For services with increased security requirements, it is recommended to use a low-level run-time with a high degree of isolation (gVisior, Kata-runtime)

Kata Containers on GKE?
On the official Kata repo, I found a tutorial only for manually deployed Kubernetes on GCE.

Monitoring Elixir Apps on Fly.io with Prometheus and PromEx
This is new and may not be used much, but it is possible to use part of Kata with part of Firecracker. https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/wiki/Initia...

Docker Without Docker
If it's using firecracker, it's probably using KVM virtualization while ensuring that the memory the VM consumes is not pinned... that is, that the VM can be swapped out of memory. For reference, firecracker was created by AWS to run and secure AWS Lambda. The hypervisor is written in rust and uses seccomp to eliminate unnecessary system calls. They open sourced it a few years back.
What you gain is a stronger security boundary. Just FYI, since 2019, you can also do this in Kubernetes using Kata containers which will happily shim firecracker. The setup is not simple though.
https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/wiki/Initia...
Overall, fly.io building infrastructure on this pattern is fantastic and making it accessible is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing how this continues to evolve and am happy to see more infra build on top of firecracker. Very exciting!

Kubernetes For The Sysadmin - Enter KubeVirt
First, download virtctl for ARM: https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/releases/tag/v1.1.0-alpha.0
-
KubeVirt v1.0 has landed! This release demonstrates the accomplishments of the community and user adoption over the years
The full list of changes can be found in the Release notes. There are performance and scalability benchmarks published for the v1.0 release.

Proxmox, CEPH and kubernetes
If you're happy with k8s and longhorn, why add Proxmox as another layer underneath? Consider kubevirt ?
-
Kubernetes for temporary VM?
Have you looked at http://kubevirt.io/ ?

How does your company roll out code?
If the answer to "how do you run VMs" is "Kubernetes does it" then its about https://kubevirt.io/

Blog: KWOK: Kubernetes WithOut Kubelet
Docker Desktop runs dockerd in a Linux VM with Apple's hypervisor framework. You can also run containers in a Linux VM with Parallels or VMware Fusion hypervisors. But you can't run VMs inside those VMs as it stands today. This works fine on Intel Macs which means you can't experiment and use KVM - one of the killer features of Linux and things like https://kubevirt.io/

Docker + portainer vs k8. EILI5
Proxmox VE can run VMs and LXC containers (see my comment below on LXC). Kubernetes can run OCI containers, but there's also KubeVirt for running VMs.

Live Switching Pods to another Node on Resource Limits
Another option would be something like KubeVirt but that is a different use case where you are actually running a VM in a container for hard-to-containerize workloads.
What are some alternatives?
grype - A vulnerability scanner for container images and filesystems
harvester - Open source hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software
simplenetes - The sns tool is used to manage the full life cycle of your Simplenetes clusters. It integrates with the Simplenetes Podcompiler project podc to compile pods.
firecracker-containerd - firecracker-containerd enables containerd to manage containers as Firecracker microVMs
oci-seccomp-bpf-hook - OCI hook to trace syscalls and generate a seccomp profile
kata-containers - Kata Containers is an open source project and community working to build a standard implementation of lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs) that feel and perform like containers, but provide the workload isolation and security advantages of VMs. https://katacontainers.io/
krane - Kubernetes RBAC static analysis & visualisation tool
k3s - Lightweight Kubernetes
cvehound - Check linux sources dump for known CVEs.
lxd - Powerful system container and virtual machine manager [Moved to: https://github.com/canonical/lxd]
lynis - Lynis - Security auditing tool for Linux, macOS, and UNIX-based systems. Assists with compliance testing (HIPAA/ISO27001/PCI DSS) and system hardening. Agentless, and installation optional.
cloud-hypervisor - A Virtual Machine Monitor for modern Cloud workloads. Features include CPU, memory and device hotplug, support for running Windows and Linux guests, device offload with vhost-user and a minimal compact footprint. Written in Rust with a strong focus on security.
