Ed Haynes has put together a demo of using Podman and systemd to manage a container lifecycle that's available on GitHub. He's written up a post that does a nice job of walking through setting up the demo and running it.
My background is in industrial automation, and in most cases, the edge devices in the factory are too underpowered to run Kubernetes as a method to manage the lifecycle of containers. The workloads have a very long lifecycle, and generally are "tied" to the edge device. There is a lot of value in containerizing applications on these edge devices, however, as it decouples the application dependencies from the OS and provides a level of isolation between applications. This demo will show how using Podman in conjunction with systemd provides an elegant solution for this sort of use case. In addition, this will be done as a "rootless" user - a key benefit of Podman that helps keep the device secure.
I've run across a number of posts over the past few weeks concerning Podman and have been busy getting other work done. So now I have a few moments and thought I'd add some links to the posts. Checkout the Podman Posts of Interest for the links!
Do you like you container names to be short, sweet and yet secure? Valentin Rothberg shows you how in a recent blog post on the Red Hat Enable Sysadmin site, Container image short names in Podman. This functionality is now available in the upstream version of Podman and is targeted for Podman v3.0.

In a recent blog post on the Red Hat Enable Sysadmin site, The history of an API: GitLab Runner and Podman, Pablo Greco from the CentOS QA team in Buenos Aires, Argentia documented his journey through a Podman and GitLab Runner integration. When Podman v2.2 arrives, GitLab Runner will be able to run with Podman right out of the box. Give the article a read to see how he got there.

In a recent blog post on the Red Hat Enable Sysadmin site, Exploring Podman RESTful API using Python and Bash, Jhon Honce nicely demonstrates the new Podman REST API using code examples in Python and shell commands. Additional notes are included in the code comments. The provided code was written to be clear vs. production quality.
