Containerd Plans Pricing

Containerd is a CNCF-graduated open-source container runtime distributed under the Apache License 2.0. Its gRPC API (containers, images, content, snapshots, tasks, namespaces, leases, events, plugins) is exposed locally by the containerd daemon via Unix socket / gRPC; there is no commercial offering, no per-call price, and no SaaS service. Operational cost lives in the host infrastructure that runs containerd (Kubernetes nodes, container hosts, registries).
