Okay that is strange. I am just getting into this Kubernetes / Docker / Container thing right as Kubernetes has announced to depcrecate Docker as the their standard container runtime (see release notes).
For me Docker was always a synonym when I thought about containers. So this news caused a little irritation. Question is what will be used instead of Docker runtime and how about the very huge DockerHub repository where you can simply find anything you need for your projects ?
What peoble write who have more knowledge about this than me:
You see, the thing we call “Docker” isn’t actually one thing—it’s an entire tech stack, and one part of it is a thing called “containerd,” which is a high-level container runtime by itself. Docker is cool and useful because it has a lot of UX enhancements that make it really easy for humans to interact with while we’re doing development work, but those UX enhancements aren’t necessary for Kubernetes, because it isn’t a human.
From Kubernetes Blog post „Don’t Panic“ about the decision to depricate Docker
So Kubernetes should be lightweight as possible, therefore Docker will get depricated. Sounds reasonable. Especially since I am going to setup a lightweight Kubernetes Cluster with K3S on Raspberry PI Computers. As far as I understand the standard Container Runtime will be containerd which is also standard on K3S.
