To provide context for users the following section gives example use cases for each part of the spec.

#### Filesystem Bundle & Configuration
#### Application Bundle Builders

- A user can create a root filesystem and configuration, with low-level OS and host specific details, and launch it as a container under an Open Container runtime.
Application bundle builders can create a [bundle](bundle.md) directory that includes all of the files required for launching an application as a container.
The bundle contains OCI [configuration files](config.md) where the builder can specify host-independent details such as [which executable to launch](config.md#process-configuration) and host-specific settings such as [mount](runtime-config.md#mount-configuration) locations, [hook](runtime-config.md#hooks) paths, Linux [namespaces](runtime-config-linux.md#namespaces) and [cgroups](runtime-config-linux.md#control-groups).
Because the configuration includes host-specific settings, application bundle directories copied between two hosts may require configuration adjustments.

#### Hook Developers

[Hook](runtime-config.md#hooks) developers can extend the functionality of an OCI-compliant runtime by hooking into a container's lifecycle with an external application.
Example use cases include sophisticated network configuration, volume garbage collection, etc.

#### Runtime Developers

Runtime developers can build runtime implementations that run OCI-compliant bundles and container configuration, containing low-level OS and host specific details, on a particular platform.
