Kubernetes won soundly, in the battle between Kubernetes vs. Docker. Kubernetes today casts a fearsome shadow over all of production-grade IT; Docker’s bits are scattered across different open source code repositories and premium subscription plans.
between the two as Docker just being a container runtime, while Kubernetes is an entire platform for running container runtimes: While Docker is a container runtime, Kubernetes is a platform for running and managing containers from many container runtimes. Kubernetes supports numerous container runtimes including Docker, containerd, CRI-O, and any implementation of the Kubernetes CRI (Container Runtime Interface) As of release 1.24, Kubernetes no longer supports the Docker runtime, though Docker containers themselves run fine on Kubernetes.
