Podman Desktop gives developers a visual way to build, manage, and deploy containerized applications. I walk through how it helps you move from source code to containers to Kubernetes without relying on complex command line tools. You’ll see how Podman Desktop simplifies the full container workflow, from building a multi-container Python and Redis app to running it locally, grouping containers into pods, and deploying them to a live Kubernetes cluster.
I also cover how Podman Desktop connects with tools like Kind, Minikube, and OpenShift Sandbox, making it easy to test your apps across different environments. You’ll see features like one-click pod creation, built-in logging and terminal access, support for Docker Compose, and a fun example of running Doom in a browser straight from a Compose file. Whether you’re used to Docker or just want a faster way to run your apps in Kubernetes, you’ll see how Podman Desktop makes the entire process easier and more approachable.
