Containerd is a daemon-based container runtime that manages the complete lifecycle of containers on a host system. It functions as a core orchestration backend, handling image distribution, storage, and process execution while adhering to industry-standard specifications for container execution and configuration. The project is distinguished by its modular, plugin-based architecture, which allows for the extension of storage, runtime, and networking capabilities without requiring a full daemon recompile. It utilizes a shim-based execution model to delegate low-level operations, ensuring isola
