TIL that k8s communicates with whatever container runtime you’re using (containerd, docker, whatever) using gRPC.

Thought you said kids instead of k8s. Nobody has found a successful protocol to communicate with kids.

Given the state of affairs, I am sure someone will release an MCP server for that soon.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but will the "k8s in the browser" thingy you may or may not be building also talk gRPC for educative purposes?

No. It uses the same service definition but there’s no gRPC going on because there’s no interprocess communication.

Yeah, been that way since Docker shim days. containerd's cleaner about it though, less baggage.
