Docker + Kubernetes

Docker can be used as a container runtime that Kubernetes orchestrates.

The way that these two technologies work together looks something like this: When Kubernetes schedules a pod to a node, the kubelet on that node will instruct Docker to launch the specified containers. Then, the kubelet will collect the status of the containers constantly and will give that information to the control plane. Docker then pulls containers onto that node and starts and stops those containers.
