From Podman to Kubernetes: Safer Container Workflows on openSUSE

A short proposal commercial for openSUSE.Asia Summit 2026.

This deck introduces my proposed short talk on building, inspecting, and deploying safer containerized applications using openSUSE, Podman, and Kubernetes.

The talk focuses on practical habits such as writing cleaner container files, inspecting images, reducing image size, avoiding unnecessary root usage, and understanding how local container development moves into Kubernetes deployment.

1. openSUSE.Asia Summit 2026 Proposal From Podman to Kubernetes: Safer Container Workflows on openSUSE A beginner-friendly short talk on building, inspecting ,and deploying safer containers using openSUSE, Podman, and Kubernetes. Divyanshu Prakash Presented by
2. A practical demo workflow from local container development to Kubernetes deployment What the talk will show openSUSE → Podman Build → Image Inspection → Basic Security Improvements → Kubernetes Deployment Focus areas: • Cleaner container files • Smaller and safer images • Avoiding unnecessary root usage • Moving from local containers to Kubernetes
3. Clear takeaways from the short talk and live demo What participants will learn Participants will understand: • How to build a container image with Podman • How to inspect a container image • How to apply basic container security habits • How the same image moves to Kubernetes • Why openSUSE is useful for cloud-native workflows Useful for students, beginners, Linux users, developers, and open-source contributors.
