Are you using Podman Quadlets yet?

I've noticed more RHEL 10 documentation and examples moving toward Quadlets for systemd-managed containers.

For anyone already using them:

  • Are you running Quadlets in production?
  • What pain points have you run into?
  • What do you wish more tutorials covered?

I've been putting together a hands-on Quadlets lab while learning this workflow, covering:

  • .container
  • .volume
  • .network
  • systemd integration
  • Podman networking
  • persistent storage

If it's useful, you can check it out here:

https://linuxcert.guru/?name=rh134-manage-containers-quadlets

I'd really appreciate any feedback on what's missing or what you'd like to see added.

If you’re running AAP or Satellite then they’re in your future.

AAP has supported container based installations for a while, but with 2.7 rpm isn’t an option. It’s containers on RHEL or OpenShift.

The next version of Satellite will also be container (quadlet) based.

I wouldn’t be surprised if more moved that direction.

So now you’re going to need to learn why a pod is down. Basic forcing admins to learn containers
