=== Kubernetes operator for managing container checkpoints ===
+
+'''Summary:''' Develop a Kubernetes operator that automates the management of container checkpoints
+
+Container checkpointing has recently been introduced as an alpha feature in Kubernetes.
+To enable this feature, the kubelet API was extended with an endpoint that enables the
+creation of checkpoints for individual containers. By default, all container checkpoints
+are stored as tar archives in <code>/var/lib/kubelet/checkpoints</code> using the following
+file name format: <code>checkpoint-<pod-name>_<namespace-name>-<container-name>-<timestamp>.tar</code>.
+However, the current implementation does not provide a mechanism for limiting the number
+of checkpoints, which may lead to filling up all existing disk space. This project aims to
+develop a Kubernetes operator that automates the management of checkpoints and provides
+a garbage collection mechanism to discard obsolete checkpoints.
