Debugging

To debug the Kata andbox VM, you can add a console by adding agent.debug_console to the kernel_params variable in configuration.toml.

You can then connect to that debug console of a Kata container by using:

./scripts/kata-console [<container's UUID>]

If the UUID is omitted, it will connect to the last Kata container started (very useful when you're only running one container at a time.
