Following the instructions here, I only got as far as step 2 before running into trouble 🙂 : [Deploy ECK in your Kubernetes cluster](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-deploy-eck.html) elastic-operator-0 is left in a CrashLoogBackOff state, with these three log entries: `{"log.level":"error","@timestamp":"2021-03-19T01:16:23.369Z","log.logger":"manager","message":"Error setting GOMAXPROCS","service.version":"1.4.1+512d5431","service.type":"eck","ecs.version":"1.4.0","error":"invalid format for CGroupSubsys: \"12:freezer:/kubepods-burstable-podb913058b_6a87_453c_b589_bc8e84d29adb.slice:cri-containerd:6e4fa8c12a6d16cf94a3acb4b9edd5cc8314d85537a11115c8c9f40c55ca0796\"","error.stack_trace":"github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/cmd/manager.startOperator\n\t/go/src/github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/cmd/manager/main.go:362\ngithub.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/cmd/manager.doRun.func2\n\t/go/src/github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/cmd/manager/main.go:321"}` `{"log.level":"error","@timestamp":"2021-03-19T01:16:23.369Z","log.logger":"manager","message":"Shutting down due to error","service.version":"1.4.1+512d5431","service.type":"eck","ecs.version":"1.4.0","error":"invalid format for CGroupSubsys: \"12:freezer:/kubepods-burstable-podb913058b_6a87_453c_b589_bc8e84d29adb.slice:cri-containerd:6e4fa8c12a6d16cf94a3acb4b9edd5cc8314d85537a11115c8c9f40c55ca0796\"","error.stack_trace":"github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/cmd/manager.doRun\n\t/go/src/github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/cmd/manager/main.go:329\ngithub.com/spf13/cobra.(*Command).execute\n\t/go/pkg/mod/github.com/spf13/cobra@v1.1.1/command.go:850\ngithub.com/spf13/cobra.(*Command).ExecuteC\n\t/go/pkg/mod/github.com/spf13/cobra@v1.1.1/command.go:958\ngithub.com/spf13/cobra.(*Command).Execute\n\t/go/pkg/mod/github.com/spf13/cobra@v1.1.1/command.go:895\nmain.main\n\t/go/src/github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/cmd/main.go:30\nruntime.main\n\t/usr/local/go/src/runtime/proc.go:204"}` `Error: invalid format for CGroupSubsys: "12:freezer:/kubepods-burstable-podb913058b_6a87_453c_b589_bc8e84d29adb.slice:cri-containerd:6e4fa8c12a6d16cf94a3acb4b9edd5cc8314d85537a11115c8c9f40c55ca0796"` From what I could find searching the internet, this is a golang thing, but I'm uncertain why there is trouble. The node is running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as a guest vm within Vmware Workstation 12 Pro that's running on top of Windows 10 Pro (Intel CPU). The runtime is Docker 19.03.8, with the cgroupdriver set to systemd. ---

Thanks sebgl -- apparently I was using containerd for the runtime after-all -- I thought I blew that node away. Your link eventually got me to the solution: ```auto version = 2 [plugins] [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri"] [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd] [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes] [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes.runc] runtime_type = "io.containerd.runc.v1" [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes.runc.options] SystemdCgroup = true ``` for /etc/containerd/config.toml Oddly, the instructions for creating the containerd configuration file here ([Container runtimes | Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/container-runtimes/#containerd-systemd)) made a configuration file that I couldn't just edit and inline the change above -- I had to completely replace the file with just the contents above for this to start working. ---
