One of the least-known commands of Podman is podman kube play, and it’s fantastic. It works as kubectl apply and supports the same objects but doesn’t need a Kubernetes cluster. It supports Pods, Deployments, Volumes, ConfigMaps, and many other Kubernetes resources and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It has some additional features compared to kubectl, such as using local images.
This talk will discuss using podman kube play and its alter-ego podman kube generate to simplify Kubernetes’ first experiences.
