containerd 1.0.0-alpha0 We are pushing the first containerd alpha release today. It includes a fully functional execution, content, snapshotting filesystems, and distribution layer. With the alpha release we wanted to make sure the GRPC API was in a good shape for people to start or finish the integrations for the 1.0 branch. Ideally, there will not be any major API changes after this release. We encourage users integrating containerd into their software and platforms to use our Go client, `import "github.com/containerd/containerd"`. We have not finalized this Go API at the time of the alpha release so that users can provide feedback and modifications can be made to the client to reduce code that containerd consumers have to write. During the alpha period, we will be working on integrating containerd into various projects and working out any rough edges or bugs. We will also be tagging a weekly alpha release going forward with fixes and updates during this phase.
