Background

Create a Konflux build pipeline for the Kata Containers RPM builder container to enable automated building of Kata Containers RPM packages in a reproducible environment.

Container Details

• Source: https://github.com/openshift/confidential-compute-artifacts/tree/main/containerfiles/kata-rpm
• Base Image: Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI) 9
• Purpose: Build Kata Containers RPM packages from source RPM (SRPM) images
• Build Environment: Complete RPM build toolchain with Rust support

Container Components

• Red Hat subscription management integration
• RPM build environment setup (rpmbuild, rpmdevtools)
• Build dependency management
• Rust toolchain installation and configuration
• Source RPM extraction and building
• Output RPM package extraction to host directory

Build Parameters

• SRPM_IMAGE: Source RPM image input
• ORG: Red Hat subscription manager organization
• ACTIVATIONKEY: Red Hat subscription manager activation key

Technical Requirements

• Set up Konflux build configuration for the Kata RPM builder Containerfile
• Configure build arguments and environment variables
• Ensure proper Red Hat subscription handling
• Validate Rust toolchain installation and configuration
• Test RPM build process with sample SRPM inputs
• Configure output volume mounting for RPM extraction

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] Konflux build pipeline created and configured
• [ ] Container builds successfully with all dependencies
• [ ] Red Hat subscription registration works correctly
• [ ] Rust toolchain installs and functions properly
• [ ] RPM build process completes successfully
• [ ] Built RPMs are properly extracted to host directory
• [ ] Container image passes security scans
• [ ] Documentation updated with build and usage instructions
• [ ] CI/CD pipeline validates container functionality

Dependencies

• Red Hat subscription credentials for build environment
• Access to Red Hat repositories and packages
• Konflux platform configuration
• Container registry access for image storage
• Sample SRPM images for testing
