 ## What is CDI?

-It introduces an abstract notion of a device as a resource. Such devices are uniquely specified by a fully-qualified name that is constructed from a vendor ID, a device class, and a name that is unique per vendor ID-device class pair.

 ## Why is CDI needed?
 
-On Linux, enabling a container to be device aware used to be as simple as exposing a device node in that container.
-However, as devices and software grows more complex, vendors want to perform more operations, such as:
-
-- Exposing a device to a container can require exposing more than one device node, mounting files from the runtime namespace or hide procfs entries.
-- Performing compatibility checks between the container and the device (e.g: Can this container run on this device).
-- Performing runtime specific operations (e.g: VM vs linux containers based runtimes).
-- Performing device specific operations (e.g: scrubbing the memory of a GPU or reconfiguring an FPGA).
-
-In the absence of a standard for third party devices, vendors often have to write and maintain multiple plugins for different runtimes or even directly contribute vendor specific code in the runtime.
-Additionally runtimes don't uniformly expose a plugin system (or even expose a plugin system at all) leading to duplication of the functionality in higher level abstractions (such as Kubernetes device plugins).

 ## How does CDI work?
 
 For CDI to work the following needs to be done:
 
-- CDI file containing update for the OCI spec in JSON format should be present in the CDI
-  spec directory. Default directories are /etc/cdi and /var/run/cdi
-
-- Fully qualified device name should be passed to the runtime either
-  using command line parameters for podman or using container annotations
-  for CRI-O and Containerd
-
-- Container runtime should be able to find CDI file by the device name
-  and update container config using CDI file content.

 ## How to configure CDI?
 
 ### CRI-O configuration
 
-In CRI-O CDI support is enabled by default. It is configured with the default `/etc/cdi, /var/run/cdi`
-CDI directory locations. Therefore you can start using CDI simply by dropping CDI configuration files
-in either of those directories, static configuration into `/etc/cdi` and dynamically updated one into
-`/var/run/cdi`. If you are unsure of the configured directories you can run this command to find them

 ### Podman configuration
 
-[podman](https://github.com/containers/podman) does not require any specific configuration to enable CDI support and processes specified `--device` flags directly. If fully-qualified device selectors (e.g. `vendor.com/device=myDevice`) are included the CDI specifications at the default location (`/etc/cdi` and `/var/run/cdi`) are checked for matching devices.
