This proposal outlines a plan to enable building a dockerless Kubelet. We define a dockerless Kubelet as a Kubelet with no "Docker-specific" code and no dependency on the docker/docker Golang package. We define "Docker-specific" code as code which only serves a purpose when Docker is the container runtime. "Docker-specific" code is never executed when the Kubelet uses a remote container runtime (i.e. containerd or CRI-O). Supporting building a dockerless Kubelet is a precursor to moving all "Docker-specific" Kubelet code out-of-tree, in the name of treating Docker like any other container runtime. At a high level, this undertaking is similar to the efforts of sig-cloud-provider to support Building Kubernetes Without In-Tree Cloud Providers. A big thanks to them for their leadership; much of this KEP is based off their great work :)
