RuntimeClass Kata Containers

Background

Kata containers are in tech preview for OpenShift 4.8. As deployments begin to use Kata container pods, users will need a mechanism to distinguish between runC and kata container runtimeClasses.

Goal

Surfacing the runtimeClass field in the details page will help users identify which Deployments are using Kata container pods. The RuntimeClass heading should have a popover description which can be pulled from the Schema.

Design for 4.8 release (MVP)

The screenshot (below) introduces the RuntimeClass field to the Pod details page. The label links to a popover displaying information on RuntimeClass from the Schema.
