containerd

Introduction

containerd is a simple, robust, and portable container runtime. containerd is available as a daemon for Linux and Windows and can manage the complete container lifecycle of its host system such as image transfer and storage, container execution and supervision, low-level storage, and network attachments. You can use containerd to deploy and manage Kubernetes and handle on-premise and cloud hardware. The API offered by containerd lets you manage the environment using containerd easily and you can control everything through API calls.

OpsRamp supports containerd to discover and monitor the resource usage of your containers.
