Simplifying Containers and Kubernetes on Your Laptop with Podman Desktop - Kevin Dubois, Red Hat

Kubernetes is the go-to platform for scaling containers, but for developers, it can be daunting, particularly with the discrepancies between local and production environments. Podman and Podman Desktop bridge this gap. In this talk, we'll introduce Podman and unveil Podman Desktop, an open-source GUI tool that streamlines container workflows and is compatible with Podman, Docker, and more. It serves as a beginner-friendly launchpad to Kubernetes, enabling you to spin up local clusters or work with remote environments. No session is complete without a demo of course, so we'll show you how to navigate the paths to transition from local app development to building containers, to pods, and ultimately to Kubernetes, highlighting how it reduces discrepancies and enables predictability in your deployments by leveraging Podman and Podman Desktop's perks and security advantages. You’ll learn how you can benefit from Podman Desktop to streamline your container development processes!
