That is one big difference, with big implications.

Just wanted to clarify that Kubernetes was still scheduling containers. Even if VM's are being used to isolate them.

It's not all or nothing either. Containerd will support running a mix of containers and kata-containers across workers.

For anyone interested in this topic I wrote about some other container runtimes here: https://kubedex.com/kubernetes-container-runtimes/

Note that this is not the case for virtual kubelet-based implementations, and your point here and above are specific to how Kata works (the article is talking more generally).

Yeah.. I think I see what you say, I mean, the end user interface is the quite the same but this has big implications anyway for the systems design POV, so is not a small thing :)
