Support different Container Runtimes in Helm Chart

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Different container runtimes make their socket available under different paths inside their filesystem.

For example containerd socket is under: /var/run/containerd/containerd.sock

Dockers socket is under: /var/run/docker.sock


Currently only the docker socket is supported and hardcoded into the helm chart. It qould be great if that could be customized.

    We're running a eks 1.22 cluster with BottlerocketOS for worker nodes. Problem is that eks/bottlerocket uses docker as runtime which creates a dockershim-sock. The instana helm chart expects the containerd.sock. We have a workaround and are mounting the dockershim.sock to the path of containerd.sock, which works (See Support Request #29460). But we have to fork the helm chart and make some changes an it's always annoying to integrate our workaround.


    But because of removal of docker runtime in k8s 1.24 we can close this idea, because this will not be neccessary.
