This will simplify the number of active components for Kata. This will also reduce the memory footprint of kata.

@mcastelino is there a corresponding issue open with clear to get rid in packaging the bundle itself?

Not aware of any issue in Clear Linux for this. What is the configuration change that needs to be made packaging side?

[mcastelino]

@bryteise @egernst we could change the toml file of QEMU to default to vsock. And we can also stop carrying the proxy binary.

@egernst is there any reason we should not do this?

Waiting for this to be resolved and merged.

There is a pull request already in place. Once the delay issue is resolved, will move onwards with vSock.
