SDxCentral: "Docker donates containerd to Cloud Native Computing Foundation"

Docker, Inc. plans to donate its containerd open source project to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Containerd is the core container runtime functionality – the bare-bones software – needed to create a Docker container. In December Docker spun containerd into a standalone open source project and said it would be donating it to a neutral foundation in 2017. Today, the company presented a proposal to the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee for containerd to become a CNCF project. It hopes to get it accepted within a couple of weeks.
