Quadlets, Pods, and working with the latest Podman, Podman 5

In the Considerations guide is the following note: Beginning with Podman v5.0, you can use Quadlet to automatically generate a systemd service file from a pod description. Today, we’re going to take a look at just how that works and what it takes to create a pod quadlet with Podman 5. I’ll be joined by Nate Lager in a live coding session to see if I can take an existing single container quadlet definition and transform it into a quadlet pod. Pod-let? DISCLAIMER: I’ve never used podman pods before, but I do use quadlets. Let’s see if I can get this working in under 45 minutes! We’ll also look at using the current kubernetes support to get a similar result. - - - - - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 Beta, available now!
