What developers need to know about Docker, Docker Engine, and Kubernetes v1Category: Microsoft, Kubernetes, Docker, Infrastructure, Architecture
The Kubernetes project plans to deprecate Docker Engine support in the kubelet and support for dockershim will be removed in a future release, probably late next year. The net/net is support for your container images built with Docker tools is not being deprecated and will still work as before.First of all, don’t panic 🙂 Developers can still use the Docker platform to build, share, and run containers on Kubernetes!
The deprecation of docker-shim (and Docker Engine as runtime) marks the completion of a long-term commitment to provide a modern runtime for Kubernetes. Containerd was created as a core low-level, extensible runtime for both Docker and Kubernetes to each use in the most appropriate way. Containerd was donated to the CNCF in 2017, and has grown to incorporate the containerd CRI project to interface with Kubernetes, as well as seeing a host of innovation and investment from across the industry, including from Amazon, Google, Microsoft and IBM.
