Two example integrations of Docker and Kubernetes are OpenShift and Rancher Labs AFAIK.

Sadly but in fact we have not completely escaped us from the dependency hell.

Question: is there an established source of information which distributions here package which versions (like Ubutu/Debian version chronicles on Wikipedia)?

Background.

Not-so-obvious facts for newbies (judged by my learnings so far) are (defining acceptable technical usability to a level that you do no need hours to debug even 101 tutorials):

  • Kubernetes is very dynamic project and it is not so easy to deploy it as-is (but seem to get better with each version, also thanks to kubeadm I would say)
  • Kubernetes does not support any Docker versions coming after the community fork to moby and Docker CE.

  • I don't exactly get your second bullet... (moby use containerd as does docker engine enterprise or community edition and I don't see the relation with k8s here). In fact I don't get the overall question, k8s is an orchestrator, it can use docker or rkt as container engine. – Tensibai Nov 27 '17 at 12:59
  • k8s tutorials draw however that Docker daemon has to be there, I think in most cases it is the setup? or is this obsolete information then. stackoverflow.com/questions/44657320/… ; k8s 1.8 is not there yet but again which compatibility is there then – Peter Muryshkin Nov 27 '17 at 13:05
  • Yes, docker engine or rkt, docker one is more stable I think but that's a version of docker which is supported, I don't get what you're after with your fork mention – Tensibai Nov 27 '17 at 13:09
  • Docker engine v. 1.12 and 1.13. were the versions before the fork to 17.x-ce which actually could have been 1.17, right? github.com/moby/moby/releases?after=v17.04.0-ce-rc1 – Peter Muryshkin Nov 27 '17 at 13:14

    Would you mind joining chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/54506/chatops to discuss it further ? I've the feeling there's something to clear up again (moby != docker ce, they are different products, so there's still something unclear there). concerning k8s: from the doc: "The minimum required Docker version will vary as the kubelet version changes. The newest stable release is a good choice." and "rkt is an alternative to Docker. You only need to install one of Docker or rkt. The minimum version required is v0.5.6." – Tensibai Nov 27 '17 at 16:19

Every Kubernetes release has an External Dependencies section in the respective Changelog. E.g.:

CHANGELOG-1.14:

The list of validated docker versions has changed. 1.11.1 and 1.12.1 have been removed. The current list is 1.13.1, 17.03, 17.06, 17.09, 18.06, 18.09.

CHANGELOG-1.13:

The list of validated docker versions remain unchanged at 1.11.1, 1.12.1, 1.13.1, 17.03, 17.06, 17.09, 18.06 since Kubernetes 1.12.

CHANGELOG-1.12:

The list of validated docker versions was updated to 1.11.1, 1.12.1, 1.13.1, 17.03, 17.06, 17.09, 18.06.

and so on...
