getUnboundedDaemon
Retrieves an unbounded daemon.
An unbounded daemon differs from a bound daemon in the following ways:
Unbounded daemons do not reserve resources in the dispatcher.
Unbounded daemons do not need to be bound to a task.
Unbounded daemons cannot use virtualized environment abstraction APIs (
Env*Api
)Unbounded daemons do not need to be unbinded when no longer needed.
As such, unbounded daemons are generally used when a DockerDaemon is needed to execute either short-lived tasks which are not implemented by the abstraction APIs themselves, e.g. searching images in Docker Hub.
