+> Note: Kubernetes v1.28 supports automatic detection of the cgroup driver as

+> enabled, the kubelet automatically detects the cgroup driver from the CRI

+> When determining the cgroup driver, containerd uses the `SystemdCgroup`
+> setting from runc-based runtime classes, starting from the default runtime
+> class. If no runc-based runtime classes have been configured containerd
+> relies on auto-detection based on determining if systemd is running.
+> Note that all runc-based runtime classes should be configured to have the
+> same `SystemdCgroup` setting in order to avoid unexpected behavior.
