7.12 Podman Containers
Linux containers provide a way to run multiple instances of an operating system on a single computer, all sharing the kernel of the host system, providing a lightweight and highly efficient alternative to virtualization. Podman is one of a set of tools provided with Fedora 31 to create and manage Linux containers and the Podman Containers Cockpit screen provides a user friendly environment in which to download and create container images.

The Podman extension is not installed by default but can be added via the Cockpit Applications screen or by running the following command:
# dnf install cockpit-podman
Linux containers are covered later in the book starting with “An Introduction to Linux Containers”.
