A _pod_ (as in a pod of whales or pea pod) corresponds to a colocated group of applications running with a shared context. Within that context, the applications may also have individual cgroup isolations applied. A pod models an application-specific "logical host" in a containerized environment. It may contain one or more applications which are relatively tightly coupled -- in a pre-container world, they would have executed on the same physical or virtual host.

Applications within a pod also have access to shared volumes, which are defined at the pod level and made available in each application's filesystem. Additionally, a pod may define top-level cgroup isolations which form an outer bound to any individual isolation applied to constituent applications.
