What is Reel?

Reel captures container state before it disappears. When a pod crashes, scales down, or gets terminated, the evidence is gone. Reel preserves it.

• Filesystem Layers — Diff-based snapshots of container changes
• Security Scanning — SBOM, CBOM, vulnerability and malware detection
• Forensics — Memory, processes, network connections
• Checkpoint — Full process state capture using CRIU
• Scheduling — Annotation-driven automated captures
