Podman Desktop: from Containers to Kubernetes
summary
Podman Desktop provides a GUI that supports Podman Docker and Lima and ships platform installers for Windows, macOS and Linux; extensions can initialize clusters including OpenShift Local and MicroShift, and it can convert a running container to Kubernetes YAML for deployment. The team builds installers, a kind-in-container plugin and Kubernetes sandboxes (trial sandboxes expire — mentioned 30 days and 12-hour session limits). Core features mostly work, but demos report flaky kind/CRC on some machines, hidden namespace/context UI, and Linux proxy/VPN integration gaps.
