Description

As of Docker Engine v29, containerd is the default storage backend for fresh
installs. It also means containerd is generally available and the preferred
storage backend. The current documentation contains several mentions of
overlay2 being the preferred graph driver, which needs to be updated in light
of containerd [snapshotters] becoming the new default and preferred storage.

nit: The "Learn more about..." doesn't read well anymore with addition of the description above. Can we rephrase this?
