Extending Containerd and CRI-O with Common Plugins - Node Resource Interface

Explore the Node Resource Interface (NRI) and its evolution into a common runtime agnostic extension interface for CRI runtimes in this informative conference talk. Discover how NRI enables plugging custom container adjustment logic into runtimes using a formal protobuf protocol description and ttRPC services. Learn about the expanded scope of NRI, allowing plugins to hook into pod and container life-cycle events and adjust container parameters. Gain insights into the integration of NRI with containerd and CRI-O as experimental features. Examine how NRI and plugins fit into runtimes, explore common and novel use cases, and review example plugins for OCI hook injection and custom resource assignment. Presented by Krisztian Litkey from Intel and Mike Brown from IBM, this 45-minute talk offers valuable knowledge for developers and end-users working with Kubernetes and other CNCF-hosted projects.
