# Contributing
## Sign your work
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch. Your
signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise have the right to pass
it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify
the below (from [developercertificate.org](http://developercertificate.org/)):
```

@ -4,9 +4,31 @@ Containerd is a daemon to control runC, built for performance and density.
Containerd leverages runC's advanced features such as seccomp and user namespace support as well
as checkpoint and restore for cloning and live migration of containers.
## Getting started
The easiest way to start using containerd is to download binaries from the [releases page](https://github.com/docker/containerd/releases).
The included `ctr` command-line tool allows you interact with the containerd daemon:
```
$ sudo ctr containers start redis /containers/redis
$ sudo ctr containers list
ID PATH STATUS PROCESSES
1 /containers/redis running 14063
```
`/containers/redis` is the path to an OCI bundle. [See the docs for more information.](docs/bundle.md)
## Docs
For more documentation on various subjects refer to the `/docs` directory in this repository.
* [Client CLI reference (`ctr`)](docs/cli.md)
* [Daemon CLI reference (`containerd`)](docs/daemon.md)
* [Creating OCI bundles](docs/bundle.md)
* [containerd changes to the bundle](docs/bundle-changes.md)
* [Attaching to STDIO or TTY](docs/attach.md)
* [Telemetry and metrics](docs/telemetry.md)
All documentation is contained in the `/docs` directory in this repository.
## Building
@ -17,11 +39,6 @@ work is being completed at a high rate.
After that just run `make` and the binaries for the daemon and client will be localed in the `bin/` directory.
## Downloads
The easy way to test and use containerd is to view the [releases page](https://github.com/docker/containerd/releases) for binary downloads.
We encourage everyone to use containerd this way until it is out of alpha status.
## Performance
Starting 1000 containers concurrently runs at 126-140 containers per second.

## Telemetry

# Roadmap
## Roadmap
The current roadmap and milestones for alpha and beta completion are in the github issues on this repository. Please refer to these issues for what is being worked on and completed for the various stages of development.
# API
## GRPC API
The API for containerd is with GRPC over a unix socket located at the default location of `/run/containerd/containerd.sock`.
At this time please refer to the [proto at](https://github.com/docker/containerd/blob/master/api/grpc/types/api.proto) for the API methods and types.
There is a Go implementation and types checked into this repository but alternate language implementations can be created using the grpc and protoc toolchain.
## containerd CLI
There is a default cli named `ctr` based on the GRPC api.
This cli will allow you to create and manage containers run with containerd.
```
