CRI-O

Infra & Ops På svenska → Updated: 2026-05-23

Container runtime built specifically for Kubernetes — minimal, OCI-compatible.

Alternative to containerd and Docker. Default in OpenShift and Red Hat distros. Different from Docker: no build, no end-user CLI — just runs containers on behalf of k8s. Smaller attack surface = good for security.
