/eli5 What is a Kubernetes pod?
What changes in Claude's response
You get a real ELI5: 'A pod is like a lunchbox. Inside the lunchbox you can have one sandwich (one container) or a sandwich with a juice box and chips (multiple containers that always travel together). Kubernetes hands out lunchboxes, not individual snacks.' The metaphors are concrete and consistent — not 'imagine if a server was a sandwich' (vague).
