Docker Opens Up with Containerd Container Runtime

Solomon Hykes, the founder of Docker and the pioneer of the modern application container revolution, really wants to make sure that the Docker community and the container revolution will continue to grow in 2017 and beyond. To that end, Docker Inc announced on December 14, the newly re-focused containerd (Con-tay-ner-D) initiative that will see the core container runtime from the Docker Engine spun-out into its own separate community project, with open, vendor-neutral governance.
