In this lab you will install the Container Runtime Interface (CRI) on both worker nodes. CRI is a standard interface for the management of containers. Since v1.24 the use of dockershim has been fully deprecated and removed from the code base. containerd replaces docker as the container runtime for Kubernetes, and it requires support from CNI Plugins to configure container networks, and runc to actually do the job of running containers.
Reference: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md
The commands in this lab must be run on each worker instance: worker-1
, and worker-2
. Login to each controller instance using SSH Terminal.
You can perform this step with tmux
The versions chosen here align with those that are installed by the current kubernetes-cni
package for a v1.24 cluster.
