> What do you get if you squash a Kubernetes kubelet? A quadlet
The idea is that podman doesn't have a supervisor daemon like docker does. Kubelet also performs more or less the same function. But podman can leverage the facilities in systemd to perform the same function. In a way, quadlets integrate a kubelet's functionalities into systemd (rather incompletely). That's the reason for the pun involving squashing a cube into a quadrilateral (a square actually).
