This subordinate charm deploys the [Containerd](https://containerd.io/)
engine within a running Juju model. Containerd is an open platform
for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed applications
in containers.

Containerd focuses on distributing applications as containers that can be quickly
assembled from components that are run the same on different servers without
environmental dependencies. This eliminates the friction between development,
QA, and production environments.

## States

The following states are set by this subordinate:

* `endpoint.{relation name}.available`

  This state is set when containerd is available for use.

## Using the Containerd subordinate charm

The Containerd subordinate charm is to be used with principal
charms that need a container runtime. To use, we deploy
the Containerd subordinate charm and then relate it to the
principal charm.

```
juju deploy containerd
juju add-relation containerd [principal charm]
```

## Scale out Usage

This charm will automatically scale out with the
principal charm.
