VANCOUVER, British Columbia—The OpenStack Foundation announced on May 22 the Kata Containers 1.0 release which is designed to bolster container security.

The Kata Containers project provides a virtualization isolation layer to help run multi-tenant container deployments in a more secure manner than running containers natively on bare-metal. The effort provides a micro-virtual machine (VM) layer that can run container workloads.
