Options for containers and runtimes that will play nice with Kubernetes

[Hawaiideveloper]

As of the writing of this issue [06-06-2021] I wanted to find a project that will provide LTS for kubernetes after December 2021 as docker and its docker-shim will not be the standard and will be considered deprecated and introduce too many holes into our system by the means of non-support and experimental patches.

Although we can still use docker to build and maintain images, it would be best to run on a different engine and not allow a nested containerization problem as docker uses containerd as its underlying system.

Therefore the more optimal and supported solution other than docker are below in next thread

As a developer, Docker is still useful to you in all the ways it was before this change was announced. The image that Docker produces isn’t really a Docker-specific image—it’s an OCI (Open Container Initiative) image.

Moving forward, you can simply eliminate Docker as a middle-man in your Kubernetes environment. Instead, use another container runtime, such as containerd

• [ ] cri-o
• [x] containerd

Because of its lightweight ability and the cloud native computing foundation CNCF we will be using containerd

We have chosen to use containerd
