CRI Plugin Config Guide

This document provides the description of the CRI plugin configuration. The CRI plugin config is part of the containerd config (default path: /etc/containerd/config.toml).

See here for more information about containerd config.

Note that the [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri"] section is specific to CRI, and not recognized by other containerd clients such as ctr, nerdctl, and Docker/Moby.

Basic configuration

Cgroup Driver

While containerd and Kubernetes use the legacy cgroupfs driver for managing cgroups by default, it is recommended to use the systemd driver on systemd-based hosts for compliance of the "single-writer" rule of cgroups.

To configure containerd to use the systemd driver, set the following option in /etc/containerd/config.toml:

version = 2
[plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes.runc.options]
  SystemdCgroup = true

In addition to containerd, you have to configure the KubeletConfiguration to use the "systemd" cgroup driver. The KubeletConfiguration is typically located at /var/lib/kubelet/config.yaml:

kind: KubeletConfiguration
apiVersion: kubelet.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
cgroupDriver: "systemd"

kubeadm users should also see the kubeadm documentation.

Snapshotter

The default snapshotter is set to overlayfs (akin to Docker's overlay2 storage driver):

version = 2
[plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd]
  snapshotter = "overlayfs"

See here for other supported snapshotters.

Runtime classes

The following example registers custom runtimes into containerd:

version = 2
[plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd]
  default_runtime_name = "crun"
  [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes]
    # crun: https://github.com/containers/crun
    [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes.crun]
      runtime_type = "io.containerd.runc.v2"
      [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes.crun.options]
        BinaryName = "/usr/local/bin/crun"
    # gVisor: https://gvisor.dev/
    [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes.gvisor]
      runtime_type = "io.containerd.runsc.v1"
    # Kata Containers: https://katacontainers.io/
    [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes.kata]
      runtime_type = "io.containerd.kata.v2"

In addition, you have to install the following RuntimeClass resources into the cluster with the cluster-admin role:

apiVersion: node.k8s.io/v1
kind: RuntimeClass
metadata:
  name: crun
handler: crun
---
apiVersion: node.k8s.io/v1
kind: RuntimeClass
metadata:
  name: gvisor
handler: gvisor
---
apiVersion: node.k8s.io/v1
kind: RuntimeClass
metadata:
  name: kata
handler: kata

To apply a runtime class to a pod, set .spec.runtimeClassName:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
spec:
  runtimeClassName: crun

See also the Kubernetes documentation.

Registry Configuration

Here is a simple example for a default registry hosts configuration. Set config_path = "/etc/containerd/certs.d" in your config.toml for containerd. Make a directory tree at the config path that includes docker.io as a directory representing the host namespace to be configured. Then add a hosts.toml file in the docker.io to configure the host namespace. It should look like this:

$ tree /etc/containerd/certs.d
/etc/containerd/certs.d
└── docker.io
    └── hosts.toml

$ cat /etc/containerd/certs.d/docker.io/hosts.toml
server = "https://docker.io"

[host."https://registry-1.docker.io"]
  capabilities = ["pull", "resolve"]

To specify a custom certificate:

$ cat /etc/containerd/certs.d/192.168.12.34:5000/hosts.toml
server = "https://192.168.12.34:5000"

[host."https://192.168.12.34:5000"]
  ca = "/path/to/ca.crt"

See docs/hosts.md for the further information.

Untrusted Workload

The recommended way to run untrusted workload is to use RuntimeClass api introduced in Kubernetes 1.12 to select RuntimeHandlers configured to run untrusted workload in plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes.

However, if you are using the legacy io.kubernetes.cri.untrusted-workloadpod annotation to request a pod be run using a runtime for untrusted workloads, the RuntimeHandler plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri"cri.containerd.runtimes.untrusted must be defined first. When the annotation io.kubernetes.cri.untrusted-workload is set to true the untrusted runtime will be used. For example, see Create an untrusted pod using Kata Containers.

CNI Config Template

Ideally the cni config should be placed by system admin or cni daemon like calico, weaveworks etc. However, there are still users using kubenet today, who don't have a cni daemonset in production. The cni config template is a temporary backward-compatible solution for them. This is expected to be deprecated when kubenet is deprecated.

The cni config template uses the golang template format. Currently supported values are:

  • .PodCIDR is a string of the first CIDR assigned to the node.
  • .PodCIDRRanges is a string array of all CIDRs assigned to the node. It is usually used for dualstack support.
  • .Routes is a string array of all routes needed. It is usually used for dualstack support or single stack but IPv4 or IPv6 is decided at runtime.

The golang template actions can be used to render the cni config. For example, you can use the following template to add CIDRs and routes for dualstack in the CNI config:

"ipam": {
  "type": "host-local",
  "ranges": [{{range $i, $range := .PodCIDRRanges}}{{if $i}}, {{end}}[{"subnet": "{{$range}}"}]{{end}}],
  "routes": [{{range $i, $route := .Routes}}{{if $i}}, {{end}}{"dst": "{{$route}}"}{{end}}]
}

Deprecation

The config options of the CRI plugin follow the Kubernetes deprecation policy of "admin-facing CLI components".

In summary, when a config option is announced to be deprecated:

  • It is kept functional for 6 months or 1 release (whichever is longer);
  • A warning is emitted when it is used.
