I'm familiar with K8 and docker, but not with Containerd. does this means that now K8 supports containers that are not created with docker but rather with Containerd ? is that correcet? if so, what's the benefit? i miss some background here.

Docker daemon is running on top of containerd, so it was an additional layer which could be avoided and that's exactly what was done. The benefit is less latency and resource consumption.

so, do I've to create the container in a diffrent fashion or will be k8s doing all the stripping?

Creating the container or the image? All existing images continue to work and tools like docker build will continue to be used to build containers.

This replaces `docker run`.

Do you mean K8s as an abbreviation for Kubernetes, or am I again out of the loop with some new tech in this fast moving field?

Indeed, K8s is a numeronym[0] for K(ubernete)s.

Yes, but the GP uses K8, not K8s.
