## What is the scope of this project?
libpod provides a library for applications looking to use the Container Pod concept popularized by Kubernetes.
libpod also contains a tool podman, which allows you to manage Pods, Containers, and Container Images.
libpod also contains a tool called podman for managing Pods, Containers, and Container Images.
At a high level, we expect the scope of libpod/podman to be the following:
At a high level, the scope of libpod and podman is the following:
* Support multiple image formats including the existing Docker/OCI image formats.
* Support for multiple means to download images including trust & image verification.
* Container image management (managing image layers, overlay filesystems, etc).
* Container and POD process lifecycle management.
* Resource isolation of containers and PODS.
* Full management of container lifecycle
* Support for pods to manage groups of containers together
* Resource isolation of containers and pods.
## What is not in scope for this project?
* Building container images. See [Buildah](https://github.com/projectatomic/buildah).
* Signing and pushing images to various image storages. See [Skopeo](https://github.com/projectatomic/skopeo/).
* Container Runtimes daemons for working with Kubernetes CRIs. See [CRI-O](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o).
* Container Runtimes daemons for working with Kubernetes CRIs. See [CRI-O](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o). We are working to integrate libpod into CRI-O to share containers and backend code with Podman.
## OCI Projects Plans
The plan is to use OCI projects and best of breed libraries for different aspects:
- Runtime: [runc](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc) (or any OCI runtime-spec implementation) and [oci runtime tools](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-tools)
- Runtime: [runc](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc) (or any OCI compliant runtime) and [oci runtime tools](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-tools) to generate the spec
- Images: Image management using [containers/image](https://github.com/containers/image)
- Storage: Storage and management of image layers using [containers/storage](https://github.com/containers/storage)
- Storage: Container and image storage is managed by [containers/storage](https://github.com/containers/storage)
- Networking: Networking support through use of [CNI](https://github.com/containernetworking/cni)
- Conmon: [conmon](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o) Conmon is a tool for monitoring OCI runtimes. Part of the CRI-O package
- Builds: Builds are supported via [Buildah](https://github.com/projectatomic/buildah).
