The classic "it depends" answer applies here, along two axes: container assembly, and container execution. If you mean "docker" the binary used to build container images, you don't even need that right now -- there are multiple projects that will build container images without involving docker or dockerd. If you mean "dockerd" the container management engine that one controls via "docker" to start and stop containers, then yes microk8s will help as they appear to use containerd inside the snap (just like kind and likely all such "single binary kubernetes" setups do): https://github.com/ubuntu/microk8s/blob/master/docs/build.md...
