Upgrading the operating system version of our SaaS runners on Linux

GitLab 17.0, scheduled for release in May 2024, will include an upgrade to the container-optimized operating system (COS) for ephemeral VMs used by SaaS runners on Linux, featuring a Docker Engine update from version 19.03.15 to 23.0.5. This update introduces compatibility issues for jobs using Docker-in-Docker and Kaniko with outdated versions, leading to errors unless updated. The change will specifically impact the fleet of SaaS runners on Linux tagged as saas-linux-*-amd64, while those on macOS and Windows remain unaffected. To mitigate potential disruptions, users should update their Docker-in-Docker jobs to Docker version 20.10 or newer and their Kaniko jobs to version v1.9.0 or newer, ensuring explicit version referencing in job definitions to prevent failures during image updates.
