Kata container virtual machine from disk image

[whittlem]

Is it possible to provision a Kata container virtual machine using a disk image E.g. ISO, QCOW2?

I would like to provision a disk image into Kubernetes. I've looked at KubeVirt but that didn't work as expected. I am now looking at Kata. The documentation I've read looks like the images you can load are Docker images which isn't quite what I'm looking for.

If it can be done with Kata, can you point me at the documentation please? If it can't done with Kata, are there any other suggestions how this can be done?
