This is a list of articles and other pages that are either about the Kubernetes' deprecation and removal of dockershim, or about using CRI-compatible container runtimes, in connection with that removal.

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.32 [beta] (enabled by default: true) On Linux nodes, Kubernetes 1.34 supports integrating with systemd to allow the operating system supervisor to recover a failed kubelet. This integration is not enabled by default. It can be used as an alternative to periodically requesting the kubelet's /healthz endpoint for health checks. If the kubelet does not respond to the watchdog within the timeout period, the watchdog will kill the kubelet.

Note: Dockershim has been removed from the Kubernetes project as of release 1.24. Read the Dockershim Removal FAQ for further details. FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.11 [stable] The lifecycle of the kubeadm CLI tool is decoupled from the kubelet, which is a daemon that runs on each node within the Kubernetes cluster. The kubeadm CLI tool is executed by the user when Kubernetes is initialized or upgraded, whereas the kubelet is always running in the background.

Finalizers are namespaced keys that tell Kubernetes to wait until specific conditions are met before it fully deletes resources that are marked for deletion. Finalizers alert controllers to clean up resources the deleted object owned. When you tell Kubernetes to delete an object that has finalizers specified for it, the Kubernetes API marks the object for deletion by populating .metadata.deletionTimestamp, and returns a 202 status code (HTTP "Accepted"). The target object remains in a terminating state while the control plane, or other components, take the actions defined by the finalizers.

In Kubernetes, a VolumeSnapshot represents a snapshot of a volume on a storage system. This document assumes that you are already familiar with Kubernetes persistent volumes. Introduction Similar to how API resources PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim are used to provision volumes for users and administrators, VolumeSnapshotContent and VolumeSnapshot API resources are provided to create volume snapshots for users and administrators. A VolumeSnapshotContent is a snapshot taken from a volume in the cluster that has been provisioned by an administrator.

With autoscaling, you can automatically update your workloads in one way or another. This allows your cluster to react to changes in resource demand more elastically and efficiently.

The CRI is a plugin interface which enables the kubelet to use a wide variety of container runtimes, without having a need to recompile the cluster components. You need a working container runtime on each Node in your cluster, so that the kubelet can launch Pods and their containers. The Container Runtime Interface (CRI) is the main protocol for the communication between the kubelet and Container Runtime. The Kubernetes Container Runtime Interface (CRI) defines the main gRPC protocol for the communication between the node components kubelet and container runtime.
