Summary

In this chapter, we started developing experience in managing containers, starting with container images, and then working with running containers. Once our containers were running, we also explored the various commands available in Podman to inspect and check the logs and troubleshoot our containers. The operations needed to monitor and look after running containers are really important for any container administrator. Finally, we also took a brief look at the Kubernetes concepts available in Podman that let us group two or more containers under the same Linux namespace. All the concepts and the examples we just went through will help us start our experience as a system administrator for container technologies.

We are now ready to explore another important topic in the next chapter: managing storage for our containers!
