Test our workloads using containerd during the 1.21 lifecycle

[vijay-veeranki]

Background

In the next release of EKS with Kubernetes 1.22 we will be changing the default runtime from Docker to containerd. This means EKS 1.21 will be the last release with Docker container runtime support. It is recommended that you test your workloads using containerd during the 1.21 lifecycle so you can make sure you don't depend on any Docker specific features such as mounting the Docker socket or using docker-in-docker for container builds.

Proposed user journey
