Podman: Leaving the Dock - OCX 2024
Most developers opt for Docker when building containers for their apps and don't feel the need to consider alternatives. However, podman, another open source tool for managing containers, has now reached a point of maturity that makes it more than just a drop-in replacement (although it also can be just that). In this talk we'll go over some of its features (rootless containers, podman play...) and when you could make use of them with real-life examples, some of its caveats, and complementary tooling (i.e compose). The talk will be oriented to both software developers who might be interested to build with podman and DevOps engineers who might want to deploy these containers (i.e to OpenShift). The goal is to make this tool more widely known and to push the adoption of open source technologies. Only basic prior knowledge on containers will be required.
