Is the DinD container required?

[trentmillar]

First off - Great job on this!

I just deployed and tested a pipeline from the pool created using these steps and the chart. Everything worked as expected but I have a concern about the DinD container so I removed it from the Deployment. After doing so my pipeline still runs fine.

My question is what is the point of this and in what situation is it used? ->
