Starting with containerd 2.2.7 and 2.3.4, checkpoint restore via CRI CreateContainer is deprecated and disabled by default, and will be removed in containerd 2.4+. Workloads that restore container checkpoints fail during container creation with:

rpc error: code = Unknown desc = checkpoint restore via CreateContainer is disabled by configuration

Add a privileged DaemonSet to re-enable the deprecated feature on containerd 2.2.x and 2.3.x nodes by setting
enable_experimental_restore_via_create = true in /etc/containerd/config.toml and restarting containerd.
