## Telemetry and security agents

There are a few ways agents may be run on kubernetes cluster. Agents have a direct
16

dependency on Docker when they run on nodes or as daemonsets. Some telemetry and
17

security agents may rely on certain logs or metrics specific for Docker that would not
18

be available any longer. This document does not cover these cases.

### Why do telemetry agents talk to Docker?

Historically, Kubernetes was built on top of Docker. Kubernetes is managing networking and scheduling, Docker was placing and operating containers on a node. So you can get scheduling-related metadata like a pod name from Kubernetes and containers state information from Docker. Over time more runtimes were created to manage containers. Also there are projects and kubernetes features that generalize container status information extraction across many runtimes.

But some agents are still Docker-dependent. They may run commands like [`docker ps`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/ps/)

### Why do some telemetry agents communicate with Docker Engine?
20

21
+
Historically, Kubernetes was written to work specifically with Docker Engine.
22
+
Kubernetes took care of networking and scheduling, relying on Docker Engine for launching
23
+
and running containers (within Pods) on a node. Some information that is relevant to telemetry,
24
+
such as a pod name, is only available from Kubernetes components. Other data, such as container
25
+
metrics, is not the responsibility of the container runtime. Early yelemetry agents needed to query the
26
+
container runtime **and** Kubernetes to report an accurate picture. Over time, Kubernetes gained
27
+
the ability to support multiple runtimes, and now supports any runtime that is compatible with
28
+
the container runtime interface.
