A tool that lets you use OCI container runtimes with Kubernetes CRI.

|
CRI-O is an implementation of the {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="cri" >}}
|
|
to enable using {{< glossary_tooltip text="container" term_id="container" >}}
|
|
runtimes that are compatible with the Open Container Initiative (OCI)
|
|
[runtime spec](https://www.github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec).
|
|
|
|
Deploying CRI-O allows Kubernetes to use any OCI-compliant runtime as the container
|
|
runtime for running {{< glossary_tooltip text="Pods" term_id="pod" >}}, and to fetch
|
|
OCI container images from remote registries.
