Podman 6 Configuration File Changes
Read more: Podman 6 Configuration File ChangesPodman 6 is about to be released soon, so I would like to talk about the biggest change we made: a major rework of how we handle and parse our configuration files. This does not just affect Podman but also Buildah, Skopeo, and many other tools building on top of our underlying go.podman.io/image and go.podman.io/storage…

Closing the Performance Gap: Automating Podman Benchmarks Across Linux, macOS, and Windows
Read more: Closing the Performance Gap: Automating Podman Benchmarks Across Linux, macOS, and Windows“It works on my machine” is a dangerous phrase in our line of work. While Podman runs natively on Linux, utilizing the kernel directly, the experience on macOS and Windows is different. These platforms require a virtual machine to provide the necessary Linux environment. This virtualization layer introduces overhead that often leads to user complaints…

Read more: Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo import pathsSeveral of the containers projects are going to change their go import paths.

Accelerating Parallel Layer Creation
Read more: Accelerating Parallel Layer CreationEarlier this year, my colleague Jan Rodak worked on Accelerating Parallel Layer Removal. It worked out so well that we wanted to tackle the other side of the problem: Layer Creation. Layer creation is even slower than removal as we must write all data to disk and not just just unlink files so there is…

Podman 6: machine usability improvements
Read more: Podman 6: machine usability improvementsI wanted to introduce a significant change we are making in Podman 6 for our machine function.
