I did fresh install for several Ubuntu 22.04 servers with the latest (1.24.3) kubeadm, kubelet, and kubectl installed. I am also using containerd as the CRI.
The error happens when I was trying to initiate the K8s cluster by running the preflight:
# kubeadm config images pull --kubernetes-version=v1.24.3 --v=5

Obviously, the output is compaining version was not found and cri-dockerd was not found. This shouldn't be the case since I explicit specified the kube version and at the beginning of the output, and it was also be able to find the containerd at the beginning.
cri plugin has already disabled in /etc/containerd/config.toml:
# cat /etc/containerd/config.toml|grep cri
disabled_plugins = ["cri"]
I am new to k8s so not sure what is wrong with it. I was followed the k8s doc from the beginning, not sure what is missing: https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/create-cluster-kubeadm/
