This subordinate charm deploys the [Kata](https://katacontainers.io/)
untrusted container runtime within a running Juju charm model. It is
an open source community working to build a secure container runtime with
lightweight virtual machines that feel and perform like containers, but
provide stronger workload isolation using hardware virtualisation technology
as a second layer of defence.

## States

The following states are set by this subordinate:

* `endpoint.{relation name}.available`

  This state is set when Kata is available for use.

## Using the Kata subordinate charm

The Kata subordinate charm is to be used with a principal charm and a
container runtime subordinate. To use, we deploy the Kata charm and
then relate to a principal and a subordinate container runtime.

For example:

```
juju deploy kata
juju add-relation kata kubernetes-worker
juju add-relation kata:untrusted containerd:untrusted
```

## Scale out Usage

This charm will automatically scale out with the
principal charm.
