Containerd NRI API is one of 4 APIs that [Containerd](https://apis.io/providers/containerd/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Extensibility, Kubernetes, NRI, and Plugins. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and a GitHub repository.

The Node Resource Interface (NRI) is a framework for plugging extensions into OCI-compatible container runtimes. NRI plugins receive lifecycle event notifications and can make controlled modifications to container configurations before creation, enabling domain-specific resource management without modifying the runtime itself.
