What

Updates README.md and userdocs/docs/intro.md:

  • Removes the note at the top of the readme that says the project was originally developed by Weaveworks. The acknowledgements section still covers this.
  • Lists Battery and Brigade as orchestrators, next to Cluster API Provider Microvm.
  • Rewrites the features list so that it matches the API.

Why

The features list was out of date:

  • It promised start, stop and pause, but the MicroVM service only has create, delete, get and list calls.
  • It said CNI support was coming soon. Networking is done with TAP and macvtap devices.
  • It left out Cloud Hypervisor, virtiofs, CPU configuration and the guest agent vsock device.

The docs site introduction also said that Firecracker is supported "initially", with Cloud Hypervisor to come. Both are supported today.

Notes

The docs site was not built locally for this change.

The readme and the docs site introduction were out of date. The
features list promised start, stop and pause calls that the API does
not have, and said CNI support was coming soon, while networking is
done with TAP and macvtap devices. It also left out Cloud Hypervisor,
virtiofs, CPU configuration and the guest agent vsock device.

Rewrite the features list from the API types and the provider
capabilities. List Battery and Brigade next to Cluster API Provider
Microvm as projects that orchestrate flintlock. Remove the note about
Weaveworks from the top of the readme, the acknowledgements section
already covers it.
