Building the Future Using Bootable Containers
The latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux container features and developer offerings
Bootable containers with CentOS Stream and Podman Desktop
The world of containerization is advancing rapidly, and bootable containers are at the forefront of transforming operating system (OS) deployment and management. But what exactly are bootable containers? They go beyond traditional containers by packaging entire operating systems, combining the agility of containers with the capabilities of full OS deployment. With Podman Desktop, you’ll explore how to create, manage, and deploy these bootable OS images seamlessly. This session will guide you through building a custom bootable container image based on CentOS Stream 9, complete with an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered code generation application. From configuring the environment to deploying bootable disk images on cloud and bare metal, you’ll master the essentials of packaging OS images with application workloads that are consistent, immutable, and easily updatable. Join us to discover a new frontier in containerization!
