===== Pod =====
[[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

A **Pod** are the smallest deployable units of computing that can be created and manage in Kubernetes.

A Pod (as in a pod of whales or pea pod) is a group of one or more containers, with shared storage and network resources, and a specification for how to run the containers. A Pod's contents are always co-located and co-scheduled and run in a shared context. A Pod models an application-specific "logical host": it contains one or more application containers that are relatively tightly coupled. In non-cloud contexts, applications executed on the same physical or virtual machine are analogous to cloud applications executed on the same logical host.

As well as application containers, a Pod can contain init containers that run during Pod startup. You can also inject ephemeral containers for debugging if your cluster offers this.
