 With a `containerd`-based node and node pools, instead of talking to the `dockershim`, the kubelet talks directly to `containerd` using the CRI (container runtime interface) plugin, removing extra hops in the data flow when compared to the Docker CRI implementation. As such, you see better pod startup latency and less resource (CPU and memory) usage.
 
-By using `containerd` for AKS nodes, pod startup latency improves and node resource consumption by the container runtime decreases. These improvements through this new architecture enable kubelet communicating directly to `containerd` through the CRI plugin. While in a Moby/docker architecture, kubelet communicates to the `dockershim` and docker engine before reaching `containerd`, therefore having extra hops in the data flow.
