cri-tools
CLI and validation tools for Kubelet Container Runtime Interface (CRI) .
What is the scope of this project?
cri-tools aims to provide a series of debugging and validation tools for Kubelet CRI, which includes:
- crictl: CLI for kubelet CRI.
- critest: validation test suites for kubelet CRI.
What is not in scope for this project?
- Building a new kubelet container runtime based on CRI.
- Managing pods/containers for CRI-compatible runtimes by end-users, e.g. pods created by crictl may be removed automatically by kubelet because of non-exist on the kube-apiserver.
Compatibility matrix: cri-tools ⬄ Kubernetes

1.15.X | v1.15.0 | release-1.15 |
1.14.X | v1.14.0 | release-1.14 |
1.13.X | v1.13.0 | release-1.13 |
1.12.X | v1.12.0 | release-1.12 |
1.11.X | v1.11.1 | release-1.11 |
1.10.X | v1.0.0-beta.2 | release-1.10 |
1.9.X | v1.0.0-alpha.1 | release-1.9 |
1.8.X | v0.2 | release-1.8 |
1.7.X | v0.1 | release-1.7 |
It's recommended to use the same cri-tools and Kubernetes minor version, because new features added to the Container Runtime Interface (CRI) may not be fully supported if they diverge.
cri-tools follows the Kubernetes release cycles with respect to its minor
versions (1.x.y
). Patch releases (1.x.z
) for Kubernetes are not in sync with
those from cri-tools, because they are scheduled for each month, whereas
cri-tools provides them only if necessary. If a Kubernetes release goes End of
Life, then the corresponding
cri-tools version can be considered in the same way.
All new minor versions of cri-tools are being created from the master
branch,
whereas corresponding release-1.x
branches will be created if a patch release
is planned.
See the roadmap for information about current and future milestones.
