Learn to build, manage, and deploy containers on Linux using Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo, and integrate them with Kubernetes and systemd, while running AI models locally through the Podman Desktop interface
Key Features
Create containers from scratch using Buildah and move images securely with Skopeo
Harden your container environment with rootless Podman, SELinux, and signed images
Manage Kubernetes resources and streamline AI workflows with Podman Desktop
Book DescriptionContainers are transforming how modern applications are built, deployed, and scaled. Podman offers a powerful, secure alternative to Docker by eliminating the daemon and embracing rootless container execution. If you're ready to move beyond legacy workflows and gain full control over container management, this practical guide is for you.
You'll begin with container fundamentals and a side-by-side comparison of Docker and Podman to ease the transition. Then, you'll run your first container, manage its lifecycle, and use Buildah to build images from scratch. Skopeo helps you transfer and inspect images across registries. As you progress, you'll secure your environment with rootless containers, signed images, and SELinux policies. You'll connect containers with networking, integrate them into systemd services, and troubleshoot issues using native Linux tools. The final chapters show how to migrate Docker workloads and use Podman Desktop to manage Kubernetes resources and run AI/ML models on your local system.
By the end of this book, you'll be able to build, run, and secure containers, automate workflows, and confidently manage deployments across DevOps and AI-powered environments.What you will learn
