How Kubelet, CRI, and CNI Collaborate to Launch a New Pod

When a new Pod is created, Kubelet coordinates with the CRI and CNI components to set up the sandbox, configure networking, pull images, create and start containers, using gRPC calls and command‑line interactions, with details varying across container runtimes such as containerd, cri‑o, and Docker.

Understanding the Removal of Dockershim in Kubernetes v1.24 and Its Alternatives

Starting with Kubernetes v1.24 the built‑in dockershim is removed, requiring users to switch to a CRI‑compatible runtime such as containerd or CRI‑O—or install cri‑dockerd for Docker compatibility—while updating scripts, logs, and tooling, and using crictl or ctr for debugging and managing containers and pods.

In‑Place Pod Vertical Scaling: Mutable Resource Requests and Limits in Kubernetes

This proposal introduces in‑place vertical scaling for Pods by making PodSpec resources mutable, extending PodStatus with ResourcesAllocated, adding ResizePolicy and Resize fields, and updating the CRI UpdateContainerResources and ContainerStatus APIs to support live CPU and memory adjustments without restarting containers.
