I’m trying to configure kubelet in my worker node with below setup.

```auto
Containerd 1.4.12
kubelet-1.23.4-0 
kubeadm-1.23.4-0 
kubectl-1.23.4-0

```

I’m not using Docker as Docker is getting deprecated in near future in K8s. My target is to configure K8s cluster with containerd.

I was able to start kubelet in Master node but when I try to start kubelet in worker node, getting below error. Can you please give me a hint to resolve this? Tried a lot but couldn’t.

```auto
