Kubernetes and Docker compatibility

• Kubernetes 1.15 validates Docker Engine versions up to 18.09
  (the latest version when Kubernetes 1.14 was released)

• Kubernetes 1.13 only validates Docker Engine versions up to 18.06

• Is it a problem if I use Kubernetes with a "too recent" Docker Engine?

--

class: extra-details

• No!

• "Validates" = continuous integration builds with very extensive (and expensive) testing

• The Docker API is versioned, and offers strong backward-compatibility

  (If a client uses e.g. API v1.25, the Docker Engine will keep behaving the same way)
