+# Configure gvisor-containerd-shim (Shim V1)
+
+This document describes how to configure runtime options for `gvisor-containerd-shim`.
+
+The shim configuration is stored in `/etc/containerd/gvisor-containerd-shim.toml`.  The configuration file supports two values.
+
+`runc_shim`: The path to the runc shim. This is used by the gvisor-containerd-shim to run normal containers.
+`runsc_config`: This is a set of key/value pairs that are converted into `runsc` command line flags. You can learn more about which flags are available by running `runsc flags`.
