containerd 2.1 is here! Delivering new features and improvements, this release also launches our new six-month cadence – just half a year after containerd 2.0.

The containerd maintainers (including me) are happy to announce the release of containerd 2.0! This is the first major release of containerd since 1.0 was released in 2017, and represents a commitment both to the evolution of the containerd project and continued investment in stability, reliability, and efficiency.
