Description

Currently, the container backend is determined by the agent flag and all containers are using the same backend. It is possible to achieve backend per container by introducing a user facing API, which fulfills more robust use cases (e.g., imagine that a group of container/nested container running an application, while some containers only read from huge images and some others only write to pluggable volumes).
