cri-dockerd
dockerd as a compliant Container Runtime Interface for Kubernetes
This adapter provides a shim for Docker Engine that lets you control Docker via the Kubernetes Container Runtime Interface. Mirantis and Docker have agreed to partner to maintain the shim code standalone outside Kubernetes, as a conformant CRI interface for the Docker Engine API. For Mirantis customers, that means that Docker Engine’s commercially supported version, Mirantis Container Runtime (MCR), will be CRI compliant. This means that you can continue to build Kubernetes based on the Docker Engine as before, just switching from the built-in docker shim to the external one. Mirantis and Docker intend to work together to make sure it continues to work as well as before and that it passes all the conformance tests and continues to work just like the built-in version did. Mirantis will be using this in Mirantis Kubernetes Engine, and Docker will continue to ship this shim in Docker Desktop. -

cri-tools
CLI and validation tools for Kubelet Container Runtime Interface (CRI)
CLI and validation tools for Kubelet Container Runtime Interface (CRI). cri-tools aims to provide a series of debugging and validation tools for Kubelet CRI. It's recommended to use the same cri-tools and Kubernetes minor version, because new features added to the Container Runtime Interface (CRI) may not be fully supported if they diverge. cri-tools follows the Kubernetes release cycles with respect to its minor versions (1.x.y). Patch releases (1.x.z) for Kubernetes are not in sync with those from cri-tools, because they are scheduled for each month, whereas cri-tools provides them only if necessary. If a Kubernetes release goes End of Life, then the corresponding cri-tools version can be considered in the same way. -
