This moment was long in coming; Kubernetes is deprecating Docker as a container runtime after version 1.20, in favor of runtimes that use the Container Runtime Interface(CRI) created for Kubernetes. However, this does not mean Docker's death, and it does not mean that you should also abandon your favorite containerization tool. As a matter of fact, not a whole lot will be changing for you, as an end-user of Kubernetes; you will still be able to build your containers using docker and the images produced by running docker build will still run in your Kubernetes cluster.

So, what is really happening here is that Kubernetes will remove Dockershim in version 1.23, which will break Docker support.

If you are using Docker in your development process, you will continue to do that, and you will not notice any differences.
