  That deprecation was because the Docker shim (compatibility layer) was expensive to maintain. You can still use containerd, which is Docker’s runtime, as a Kubernetes runtime.

  This framing (Docker is losing popularity, even k8s is deprecating it) is misleading. The article you linked to clears that up immediately out of the gate (emphasis added): > You do not need to panic. It’s not as dramatic as it sounds. > TL;DR Docker as an underlying runtime is being deprecated in favor of runtimes that use the Container Runtime Interface (CRI) created for Kubernetes. Docker-produced images will continue to work in your cluster with all runtimes, as they always have. > If you’re an end-user of Kubernetes, not a whole lot will be changing for you. This doesn’t mean the death of Docker, and it doesn’t mean you can’t, or shouldn’t, use Docker as a development tool anymore. Docker is still a useful tool for building containers, and the images that result from running docker build can still run in your Kubernetes cluster.
