# containerd roadmap
|
|
|
|
This is a high level roadmap for the project that outlines what is currently being worked on, what comes next, and where you can help.
|
|
|
|
The following are the different status the various phases of development can be in:
|
|
* Not Started - no work or thinking has been done towards the goal
|
|
* In Design - design work has started for the component and you can find design documents in the `design` folder
|
|
* In Progress - design has mostly finished and development has started
|
|
* Completed - the development work has been completed
|
|
* Stable - the apis for the phase are feature complete and considered stable
|
|
|
|
## Phase 1
|
|
|
|
**Status:** In Progress
|
|
|
|
### GRPC API
|
|
|
|
**Documents:**
|
|
|
|
We are going from a top down design for filling out this missing pieces of containerd and design of the API.
|
|
|
|
### Design
|
|
|
|
**Documents:**
|
|
|
|
The high level design work is needed so that the architecture of containerd stays consistent throughout the development process.
|
|
|
|
### Build & Test Process
|
|
|
|
**Documents:**
|
|
|
|
We need to have a simple build and test process for new developers to bootstrap their environments.
|
|
Because containerd will be the base of many high level systems we need to have a simple build process that does
|
|
not require high level tooling.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 2
|
|
|
|
Phase 2 includes most of the design and development work for the execution and storage layers of containerd.
|
|
It will include porting over existing "graph drivers" from Docker Engine and finding a common model for representing snapshots for layered filesystems.
|
|
|
|
This will also include moving the existing execution code support OCI's Runtime Spec and the existing containerd execution code.
|
|
|
|
**Status:** In Design
|
|
|
|
### Execution
|
|
|
|
The execution layer is responsible for the create of containers and the management and supervision of processes.
|
|
|
|
### Storage
|
|
|
|
**Documents:** https://github.com/docker/containerkit/blob/master/design/snapshots.md
|
|
|
|
## Phase 3
|
|
|
|
Phase 3 involves porting the network drivers from libnetwork and finding a good middle ground between the abstractions of libnetwork and the CNI spec.
|
|
|
|
This also includes getting support for the OCI Image spec built into containerd.
|
|
|
|
**Status:** Not Started
|
|
|
|
### Distribution
|
|
|
|
### Networking
|
|
|
|
The networking component will allow the management of network namespaces and interface creation and attachment to namespaces.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 4
|
|
|
|
Phase 4 includes work on helping with the releases and packaging of containerd for various distros.
|
|
|
|
**Status:** Not Started
|
|
|
|
