Here’s what this means for real-world kubernetes deployments: - 99% of Kubernetes deployments use dockerd as a runtime - 99% of dockerd deployments use containerd as a runtime - containerd can be called directly by kubernetes via cri-containerd - Therefore most Kubernetes deployments can, and should, be simplified by calling containerd directly. - This deprecation notice will make this transition happen sooner. This is the natural consequence of Docker itself splitting out its runtime into containerd.
