podman

Best Practices

• Use rootless containers when possible for security
• Define resource limits for CPU and memory
• Use named volumes for persistent data
• Set security contexts with read-only root filesystem
• Use pod-level networking for multi-container communication
• Map ports explicitly at the pod level
• Use environment variables from secrets or configmaps
• Use fully qualified image names with registry prefix
• Set security contexts for least-privilege execution
• Ports must be mapped at the pod level for external access
