The pod sandbox is the abstraction that replaces the "pause" container that is used to keep namespaces open in every Kubernetes pod today.

Some techinical explanation here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/kubernetes-users/jVj...

So,a normal Kubernetes user will never know about rkt pod sandboxes and Kubernetes pods will just work as expected. Only you won't have all of these weird "pause" containers everywhere.



+1 Death to `pause` (and it's largely my fault in the first place)


Thanks, that makes sense. I always thought of the pause container as "being" the pod in the networking sense, so if the pod sandbox simply replaces that I guess they could have just called it a pod.
