+
+.. tip::
+
+    It might be tough to understand at the beginning, so to avoid confusion remember that all pools perform the
+    same actions but on different medium given the adapter they are based on. Internally, a pool wraps the definition
+    of an adapter.
+
+.. note::
+
+    The framework bundle ships with multiple adapters: apcu, doctrine, system,
+    filesystem, psr6, and redis.
