Supported container runtimes in Kubernetes include:
- Docker
- containerd
- rkt
- CRI-O (Container Runtime Interface using OCI)
In Azure AKS, the default container runtime is containerd and is supported on both Linux and Windows worker nodes.
In Amazon EKS, the default container runtime is containerd and is supported on both Linux and Windows worker nodes.
Note: Containerd has a smaller scope compared to the Docker runtime which helps improve security and pod startup latency. It also frees up additional CPU and memory for use by applications.
