Peer-pods, also known as the Kata remote hypervisor, enable the creation of Kata Virtual Machines (VM) on any environment, be it on-prem or in the cloud, without requiring bare metal servers or nested virtualization support. This is accomplished by extending Kata containers runtime to manage the VM lifecycle using cloud provider APIs (e.g., AWS, Azure) or third-party hypervisor APIs (such as VMware vSphere).
Since peer-pods are separate VMs alongside the Kubernetes node, traditional Container Storage Interface (CSI) cannot function properly within them, and different solutions are required.
