Podman

Install, configure, and troubleshoot Podman for Cortex Cloud engines.

Podman is a daemonless container engine for developing, managing, and running OCI containers on Linux. Containers can run as root or in rootless mode.

The Shell installer detects the operating system’s container management type. On RHEL 8 and later, it installs and configures Podman for rootless mode.

Engine upgrades retain the existing container management type.

PowerShell integrations might require default SELinux policy configuration. Podman can affect processes that mmap to /dev/zero.
