We have 4 servers we run containers on. Calling that a fleet feels too generous. Not much rhyme or reason as to what containers run on which server

> But that is entirely different from an enterprise scale setup with monitoring, alerting, and scale in mind

Do you have experience with Kubernetes solving these issues? Would love to hear more if so.

Currently running podman containers at work and trying to figure out better solutions for monitoring, alerting, etc. Not so worried about scale (my simple python scripts don't need it) but abstracting away the monitoring, alerting, secure secret injection, etc. seems like it'd be a huge win.

This is where I'm at. Using Podman daily to run Python scripts and apps and it's been going great! However trying to build things like monitoring, secure secret injection, centralized inventory, remote logging, etc. has fallen on us. Has lead to some shadow IT (running our own container image registry, hashicorp vault instance, etc.) which makes me hesitant to share with others in the company how we're operating.

I like to think if we had a K8s environment a lot of this would be built out within it. Having that functionality abstracted away from the developer would be a huge win in my opinion.

I'm struggling to find where I can browse these RHEL images. Do you have any insight?

edit: they can be found here https://quay.io/organization/hummingbird and more documentation is located here https://gitlab.com/redhat/hummingbird/containers

Don't "security venders" detect and report most of these types of attacks already today?

I haven’t had issues with rootless networking but I run pretty simple apps. I gave up on podman-compose though and run individual commands to create podman objects. Once rootless containers are in the same pod you can access other containers in the same pod over localhost

Went kayaking in Lake Powell last year. Locals were saying the lake was down 30 feet (!!) from the past couple of years. I have no idea if that sort of fluctuation is common but that was enough to make me feel very concerned about the water situation in the southwest

Here’s a simple game I wrote in vanilla js (client side) two summers ago

Heads up it doesn’t work on mobile. Also there some bugs at the end of the game I never got around to ironing out.
