# Compatibility for determining appropriate sandbox (VM) size:
# - When running with pods, sandbox sizing information will only be available if using Kubernetes >= 1.23 and containerd >= 1.6. CRI-O
#   does not yet support sandbox sizing annotations.
# - When running single containers using a tool like ctr, container sizing information will be available.

# If specified, sandbox_bind_mounts identifieds host paths to be mounted (ro) into the sandboxes shared path.
# This is only valid if filesystem sharing is utilized. The provided path(s) will be bindmounted into the shared fs directory.
# If defaults are utilized, these mounts should be available in the guest at `/run/kata-containers/shared/containers/sandbox-mounts`
# These will not be exposed to the container workloads, and are only provided for potential guest services.

# VFIO Mode
# Determines how VFIO devices should be be presented to the container.
# Options:
#
#  - vfio
#    Matches behaviour of OCI runtimes (e.g. runc) as much as
#    possible.  VFIO devices will appear in the container as VFIO
#    character devices under /dev/vfio.  The exact names may differ
#    from the host (they need to match the VM's IOMMU group numbers
#    rather than the host's)
#
#  - guest-kernel
#    This is a Kata-specific behaviour that's useful in certain cases.
#    The VFIO device is managed by whatever driver in the VM kernel
#    claims it.  This means it will appear as one or more device nodes
#    or network interfaces depending on the nature of the device.
#    Using this mode requires specially built workloads that know how
#    to locate the relevant device interfaces within the VM.

# If enabled, the runtime will not create Kubernetes emptyDir mounts on the guest filesystem. Instead, emptyDir mounts will
# be created on the host and shared via virtio-fs. This is potentially slower, but allows sharing of files from host to guest.
