# 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 ocid uses i.e. containers/image, container/storage, oci-runtime-tool/generate, runc or
any other OCI compatible runtime. kpod shares state with ocid and so has the capability to debug pods/images created by ocid.

## 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.
