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. + +## Use cases +1. List pods. +2. Launch simple pods (that require no daemon support). +3. Exec commands in a container in a pod. +4. Launch additional containers in a pod. +5. List images. +6. Remove images not in use. +7. Pull images. +8. Check image size. +9. Report pod disk resource usage. |
