Kubernetes supports several container runtimes: [Docker](http://www.docker.com),
|
|
[containerd](https://containerd.io), [cri-o](https://cri-o.io/),
|
|
[rktlet](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/rktlet) and any implementation of
|
|
the [Kubernetes CRI (Container Runtime Interface)](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-node/container-runtime-interface.md).
