you don't have to source one manually — pullrun kernel install fetches a kata containers kernel into ~/.pullrun/kernels/vmlinux- . One-time setup, then the daemon auto-discovers it.
If you run an ubuntu image with a kata kernel, do you have difficulty installing some packages? For example if you need linux-headers-$(uname -r) or linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r), it won't exist in canonical apt repos?
Where does the microvm kernel/initrd come from? How can it be built? I just want a system that's as easy as "docker run ubuntu" but launches as a microvm instead, without me having to source a kernel or remember hugenormously long qemu incantation lines.
The kernel/initrd come from a regular OCI container image — there's no separate VM image format. Any OCI image containing /boot/vmlinux (and optionally /boot/initramfs.cpio.gz) works as a kernel image.
Is the OP the author of this? Because they are writing responses here that are unquestionably unedited LLM generated responses. The project looks cool, and I'm particularly glad to see a reach for a p2p container registry, but that sort of behavior doesn't lend credibility to something as critical as image infrastructure.

It looks like OP only has an account here to self-promote, which also puts them in the same credibility tier as an advertiser.

I think `smolvm` may fit the bill? I've been using it to run pi.dev in a sandbox. https://smolmachines.com/

I don't think I've ever seen a kernel or initrd in a container image. The whole point of containers is not to duplicate the kernel, and you definitely don't need an initial ram disk since you already have a running operating system.

To me, a project that young, with a unique developer at the helm, cannot look "that nice", so I can't resist seeing it as too nice to be true, and being actually a scam or whatever.
I know that, thanks to AI, a solo dev can not only orchestrate an actual projects in a few days, but can ALSO take time to make a good looking README.
When, in the past, the focus was first on the code, then on the README.
