# kpod - Simple debugging tool for pods and images
|
|
|
|
|
kpod is a simple client only tool to help with debugging issues when daemons such as CRI runtime and the kubelet are not responding or
|
|
|
|
|
failing. A shared API layer could be created to share code between the daemon and kpod. kpod does not require any daemon running. kpod

|
|
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. kpod shares state with crio and so has the capability to debug pods/images created by crio.
