Docker Open Sources Key Infrastructure Component
Docker has been steadily open sourcing some of its architectural components. In its lates move, the company is open sourcing containerd, an important infrastructure component in its container platform.
As The Register noted: The "d" stands for "daemon" – containerd is a daemon, or automated process, to control runC, the standard container runtime released by Docker last year, and since reclassified as something less than a runtime following community input. Containerd handles transferring container images, container execution, and low-level storage and network interfaces across Linux and Windows.
