- pbalau 7y agoCan you do kubernetes without docker? Does it support other container engines?
- bpicolo 7y agoSeveral others. containerd (spawned by Docker), CRI-O, something called frakti (https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/cri/ https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/cri/)
- Nullabillity 7y agoSomewhat off-topic.. I really wish the Kubernetes setup guides would also have a paragraph about why you would choose each option, rather than just listing how to install them.
- Nullabillity 7y agoThe CNI guide[0] is especially awful here. It contains 9 (!) different options, some of which are combinations of others, with no explanation at all of how they differ. As it turns out, there is a separate page with descriptions[1], but there is no linking between the two pages, and it's in a completely different section.

- dankohn1 7y agoThere's an "Edit this Page" button at the bottom of each of those documentation pages. We appreciate pull requests with improvements!
- ecnahc515 7y agoI don’t disagree but that’s somewhat out of scope for Kubernetes I’d argue. The benefits or costs are varied and not simply explained. It’s probably best to just differ the docs for each runtime and have them explain it instead.
- kkarakk 7y agoyeah getting into devops stuff from the outside is still very challenging. the official docs are always very working professional oriented
