Could you explain what you mean by "locks you in"?

You now have to run all those programs in the same namespace, on the same machine. There is no possibility to run some of the programs somewhere else (without building a new image).

No, pod is a collection of multiple images, not a single fat one.

Sorry, you have to rebuild the top level representation, which I guess is now called a Pod.

No, Pod is designed for multi-containers grouped to run on the same host, primarily for sidekick process, like syslog.

If you want to multi-host deployment, it is similar to CloudFormation. You can still use multiple pods to compose a distributed app.

across the network to a non-coreos container? ;)
