-We didn’t do a great job communicating this, and unfortunately, the deprecation announcement led to some panic within the community. Confusion around what this meant for Docker as a company, if container images built by Docker would still run, and what Docker Engine actually is led to a conflagration on social media. This was our fault; we should have more clearly communicated what was happening and why at the time. To combat this, we released [a blog](/blog/2020/12/02/dont-panic-kubernetes-and-docker/) and [accompanying FAQ](/blog/2020/12/02/dockershim-faq/) to allay the community’s fears and correct some misconceptions about what Docker is and how containers work within Kubernetes. As a result of the community’s concerns, Docker and Mirantis jointly agreed to continue supporting the dockershim code in the form of [cri-dockerd](https://www.mirantis.com/blog/the-future-of-dockershim-is-cri-dockerd/), allowing you to continue using Docker Engine as your container runtime if need be. For the interest of users who want to try other runtimes, like containerd or cri-o, [migration documentation was written](docs/tasks/administer-cluster/migrating-from-dockershim/change-runtime-containerd/).
