+# containerd-shim-runsc-v1
+
+> Note: This shim version is the recommended shim for containerd versions
+> greater than or equal to 1.2. For older versions of containerd, use
+> `gvisor-containerd-shim`.
+
+This document describes how to configure and use `containerd-shim-runsc-v1`.
+
+## Configuring Containerd 1.2
+
+To configure containerd 1.2 to use this shim, add the runtime to
+`/etc/containerd/config.toml` as follows:
+
+```
+[plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.runsc]
+  runtime_type = "io.containerd.runsc.v1"
+  runtime_root = "/run/containerd/runsc"
+[plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.runsc.options]
+  TypeUrl = "io.containerd.runsc.v1.options"
+```
+
+The configuration will optionally loaded from a file named `config.toml` in the
+`runtime_root` configured above.
+
+In order to pick up the new configuration, you may need to restart containerd:
+
+```shell
+sudo systemctl restart containerd
+```
+
+## Configuring Containerd 1.3 and above
+
+To configure containerd 1.3 to use this shim, add the runtime to
+`/etc/containerd/config.toml` as follows:
+
+```
+[plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.runsc]
+  runtime_type = "io.containerd.runsc.v1"
+[plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.runsc.options]
+  TypeUrl = "io.containerd.runsc.v1.options"
+  ConfigPath = "/etc/containerd/runsc.toml"
+```
+
+The `ConfigPath` above will be used to provide a pointer to the configuration
+file to be loaded.
+
+> Note that there will be configuration file loaded if `ConfigPath` is not set.
+
+In order to pick up the new configuration, you may need to restart containerd:
+
+```shell
+sudo systemctl restart containerd
+```
+## Shim Confguration
+
+The shim configuration may carry the following options:
+
+* `shim_cgroup`: The cgroup to use for the shim itself.
+* `io_uid`: The UID to use for pipes.
+* `ui_gid`: The GID to use for pipes.
+* `binary_name`: The runtime binary name (defaults to `runsc`).
+* `root`: The root directory for the runtime.
+* `runsc_config`: A dictionary of key-value pairs that will be passed to the
+  runtime as arguments.
+
+### Example: Enable the KVM platform
+
+gVisor enables the use of a number of platforms. This example shows how to
+configure `containerd-shim-runsc-v1` to use gVisor with the KVM platform:
+
+```shell
+cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/containerd/runsc.toml
+[runsc_config]
+platform = "kvm"
+EOF
+```
+
+### Example: Enable gVisor debug logging
+
+gVisor debug logging can be enabled by setting the `debug` and `debug-log` flag.
+The shim will replace "%ID%" with the container ID in the path of the
+`debug-log` flag.
+
+```shell
+cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/containerd/runsc.toml
+[runsc_config]
+debug = true
+debug-log = /var/log/%ID%/gvisor.log
+EOF
+```
