A shared API layer could be created to share code between the daemon and podman. podman does not require any daemon running. podman -utilizes the same underlying components that crio uses i.e. containers/image, container/storage, oci-runtime-tool/generate, runc or -any other OCI compatible runtime. podman shares state with crio and so has the capability to debug pods/images created by crio. +podman is a daemonless container runtime for managing containers, pods, and container images. +It is intended as a counterpart to CRI-O, to provide low-level debugging not available through the CRI interface used by Kubernetes. +It can also act as a container runtime independent of CRI-O, creating and managing its own set of containers. ## Use cases -1.
