# Container Super-structure
- Multiple orchestration platforms support some kind of container super-structure.
(i.e., a construct or abstraction bigger than a single container.)
- For instance, on Kubernetes, this super-structure is called a *pod*.
- A pod is a group of containers (it could be a single container, too).
- These containers run together, on the same host.
(A pod cannot straddle multiple hosts.)
- All the containers in a pod have the same IP address.
- How does that map to the Docker world?

## Pods in Docker
- The containers inside a pod share the same network namespace.
(Just like when using `docker run --net=container:<container_id>` with the CLI.)
- As a result, they can communicate together over `localhost`.
- In addition to "our" containers, the pod has a special container, the *sandbox*.
- That container uses a special image: `k8s.gcr.io/pause`.
(This is visible when listing containers running on a Kubernetes node.)
- Containers within a pod have independent filesystems.
- They can share directories by using a mechanism called *volumes.*
(Which is similar to the concept of volumes in Docker.)
