Folks,
sig-node has been struggling to keep the in-tree dockershim implementation up-to-date and relevant. There are several CRI implementations and since CRI is the way forward, it would make sense to drop dockershim in a subsequent release. We already have a way to build kubelet without docker (see "dockerless" tag) and we have tried it out with kind etc as well.
Here's a PR to start the clock ticking to an eventual removal
Please drop by the next sig-node meeting as well if you have strong opinions :)
Thanks,
Dims
