CRI, aka Container Runtime Interface, is the new mechanism designed to plug any container runtime in Kubernetes. In this presentation, I will introduce how we introduce the hypervisor based container into Kubernetes as native container runtime by using CRI. And enables users to serve their customers directly with virtualized containers, instead of wrapping them inside of full blown VMs. CRI design principles and implementation details will be explained. As well as the essential differences between Kubernetes and other projects like SwarmKit and how hyper.sh made the choice. Today, many developers are not comfortable with Linux containers as an effective boundary, and requires for a stronger degree of isolation, particularly for those running in a multi-tenant environment. We believe HyperContainer with Kubernetes is one of the best answers.
