katacontainer下agent的作用

分析 kata-containers-main/src/agent 文件夹的作用

kata-containers-main/src/agent 文件夹包含了 Kata 容器的代理程序（Kata Agent）的源代码。这个代理程序是一个在 Kata 容器虚拟机内部长期运行的进程，负责管理和控制容器的生命周期。

主要功能和组件

1. 容器和沙盒的生命周期管理:

   • 代理程序负责创建、启动、停止和删除容器。它通过与运行时的通信来接收指令，并执行相应的容器管理任务。

2. 配置和构建:

   • 代理程序可以通过源代码构建，并支持不同的配置选项，如日志级别、网络配置等。构建过程支持不同的平台和配置，包括对 musl C库的支持（尽管在某些架构上可能不可用）。

3. API 和协议:

   • 代理使用 ttRPC（基于 gRPC 的轻量级 RPC 框架）与 Kata 运行时通信。API 定义在 Protocol Buffers 文件中，这些文件用于生成 Rust 和 Go 语言的绑定。

4. 测试和调试:

   • 代理包含了多个测试用例，确保其核心功能的正确性。此外，还提供了调试控制台的支持，允许开发者直接与虚拟机内的代理进行交互。

5. 安全和性能特性:

   • 代理支持多种安全和性能相关的配置，如 HTTPS 代理、热插拔超时设置、静态跟踪等。

代码和文档

• 源代码:
  • 代理的实现涵盖了对虚拟加密设备（如 IBM Crypto Express）的支持，这些设备在 IBM zSystem 和 LinuxONE 平台上用于加密操作。例如，ap.rs 文件中定义了处理这些设备地址的结构和方法。

# Kata Agent

## Overview

The Kata agent is a long running process that runs inside the Virtual Machine
(VM) (also known as the "pod" or "sandbox").

The agent is packaged inside the Kata Containers
[guest image](../../docs/design/architecture/README.md#guest-image)
which is used to boot the VM. Once the runtime has launched the configured
[hypervisor](../../docs/hypervisors.md) to create a new VM, the agent is
started. From this point on, the agent is responsible for creating and
managing the life cycle of the containers inside the VM.

For further details, see the
[architecture document](../../docs/design/architecture).

## Audience

If you simply wish to use Kata Containers, it is not necessary to understand
the details of how the agent operates. Please see the
[installation documentation](../../docs/install) for details of how deploy
Kata Containers (which will include the Kata agent).

The remainder of this document is only useful for developers and testers.

## Build from Source

Since the agent is written in the Rust language this section assumes the tool
chain has been installed using standard Rust `rustup` tool.

### Build with musl

If you wish to build the agent with the `musl` C library, you need to run the
following commands:

```bash
$ arch=$(uname -m)
$ rustup target add "${arch}-unknown-linux-musl"
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++ /bin/musl-g++
```

> **Note:**
>
> It is not currently possible to build using `musl` on ppc64le and s390x
> since both platforms lack the `musl` target.

### Build the agent binary

The following steps download the Kata Containers source files and build the agent:

```bash
$ GOPATH="${GOPATH:-$HOME/go}"
$ dir="$GOPATH/src/github.com/kata-containers"
$ git -C ${dir} clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers
$ make -C ${dir}/kata-containers/src/agent
```

## Change the agent API

The Kata runtime communicates with the Kata agent using a ttRPC based API protocol.

This ttRPC API is defined by a set of [protocol buffers files](../libs/protocols/protos).
The protocol files are used to generate the bindings for the following components:

| Component | Language | Generation method `[*]` | Tooling required |
|-|-|-|-|
| runtime | Golang | Run, `make generate-protocols` | `protoc` |
| agent | Rust | Run, `make` |  |

> **Key:**
>
> `[*]` - All commands must be run in the agent repository.

这个文件夹是 Kata 容器项目的核心部分，它使得 Kata 容器能够在虚拟机中有效地管理容器，提供了隔离、安全和高效的容器操作环境。
