Kata Containers is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project designed to close the security gap between traditional Linux containers and virtual machines. Instead of sharing a single host kernel like standard containers, Kata Containers launches each pod or container inside its own lightweight virtual machine using hardware virtualization.

This approach dramatically reduces the attack surface and prevents container escape vulnerabilities, making Kata ideal for multi-tenant, untrusted, or sensitive workloads. Despite using VMs under the hood, Kata is optimized for fast startup times and integrates seamlessly with Kubernetes through the Container Runtime Interface (CRI), allowing it to be used alongside runtimes like containerd and CRI-O.

Kata Containers is commonly used in scenarios such as multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters, confidential computing, sandboxed AI workloads, serverless platforms, and agent execution environments where strong isolation is mandatory. It supports multiple hypervisors, including QEMU, Firecracker, and Cloud Hypervisor, and continues to evolve toward faster boot times, lower memory overhead, and better hardware acceleration support.
