cri-client

Container Runtime Interface client implementation

Purpose

This repository contains the client source code for the Container Runtime Interface (CRI). CRI is a plugin interface which enables kubelet to use a wide variety of container runtimes, without the need to recompile. CRI consists of a protocol buffers and gRPC API. Read more about CRI at kubernetes docs.

The repository kubernetes/cri-client is a mirror of https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/staging/src/k8s.io/cri-client. Please do not file issues or submit PRs against the kubernetes/cri-client repository as it is readonly, all development is done in kubernetes/kubernetes.

The cri-api staging repository is defined in kubernetes/kubernetes and is only intended to be used for kubelet to container runtime interactions, or for node-level troubleshooting using a tool such as crictl. The cri-api wraps the Protobuf protocol definition with extra features which can be used directly from other clients as well. It is not a common purpose container runtime API for general use, and is intended to be Kubernetes-centric. We try to avoid it, but there may be logic within a container runtime that optimizes for the order or specific parameters of call(s) that the kubelet makes.
