Some of the things I like about @Podman_io is this ability to generate K8s pod YAMLs from podman pods.
— SAIM SAFDAR (@cloudnativeboy) January 31, 2022
(1): deploy a pod named webserver with an Nginx container.
(2): generate the K8s YAML for the podman pod
(3): You can direct the generated YAML to a file with redirection pic.twitter.com/PTykINAS4A
