+## What it is
+
+A runtime, in general, executes a piece of software.
+It is an [abstraction](/abstraction/) of the underlying operating system that translates the program's commands into respective actions for the operating system. 
+
+In the context of [cloud native](/cloud-native-apps/), _runtime_ generally refers to container runtime. 
+A container runtime specifically implements the [Open Container Initiative](https://opencontainers.org/) specification to ensure consistent handling around different container orchestration technologies. 
+
+## Problem it addresses
+
+Without the abstraction of a container runtime, the application would have to deal with all the mechanics of each operating system, increasing the complexity of running the app. 
+
+## How it helps
+Container runtimes are a necessary component of container orchestrators such as Kubernetes. 
+They handle the container lifecycle, which does mainly three things.
+First, it defines how container images are specified and how the runtime can retrieve them. 
+Second, they handle how these images are unpacked, layered, mounted, and executed.
+Furthermore, runtimes manage hardware resources taking care of all these operating system-level actions. 
+These include resource allocation and isolation.  
+Over time, different container runtime products evolved, leading to the OCI Specification, 
+which became the standard for container runtimes. 
+
+Introducing this standard allows end users to combine any OCI-compliant runtime with any OCI-compliant container orchestrator (like Kubernetes).
