Container Runtime

Each Kubernetes node runs a container runtime, usually Docker. However, support for other container runtimes is available, via Container Runtime Interface (CRI).

The Container Runtime Interface (CRI) is an abstraction layer that standardizes the way third-party container runtimes interface with Kubernetes.
