The RISC V Journey Through Containers to the Cloud

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Port of core container tooling to RISC‑V: Docker on RISC‑V runs images published to Docker Hub, and Kubernetes (including k3s), Prometheus and OpenFaaS run as orchestration and monitoring layers. Work involves a Go toolchain port (targeted for Go 1.14/1.15), kernel and library fixes, and more than 20+ projects patched with upstream pull requests; most are merged, a few patches remain. Demos run on a QEMU VM and a HiFive Unleashed board showing containers, a Kubernetes control plane and an OpenFaaS function executing successfully.
