Colima

What is it

Colima allows runtime to allow containers

  • Colima helps run build and run containers

Colima kube helps orchestrate the containers

  • When performing scripts to run
    • Kube doesn't allow these scripts
      • Runs these scripts through HTTP requests only
    • Containers within containers
    • API server on the machine
      • That API server is responsible for managing the containers
