Description : implementation of the Kubernetes CRI to enable using OCI compatible runtimes
Also I want to quatate RFP (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=979702):
cri-o provides an alternate runtime to containerd to run pods and containers in Kubernetes.
cri-o provides the following avantages:
- lightweight, specifically target to kubernetes, so it has a clear compatibility matrix with k8s
- uses systemd by default as cgroup driver instead of cgroupfs, which is a better choice than
cgroupfs when the init system is systemd (see https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/container-runtimes/#cgroup-drivers)
FWIW cri-o is used as container runtime in the Suse and Red Hat Kubernetes offerings.
Upstream expressed interessed to have cri-o package in Debian, but in the end provided its own package
on the OpenSuse Build Service (having to unvendor the dependencies being the challenge)
