The Podman Community builds and supports packages for a wide variety of Linux distributions and operating systems. These builds are provided in the public Open Build Service hosted by openSUSE. These pre-built packages have made it easier for new users to test the latest-greatest versions of Podman and allow for using it on distributions that do not yet provide it in their main repositories.

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.
