What This is a quick article to pull together the entire picture of Podman and CRI-O with the releases of RHEL 8 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. In a nutshell, you get Podman with RHEL in a single node use case (orchestrate yourself) and CRI-O as part of the highly automated OpenShift 4 software stack.

Background I was thinking about naming this article the POWER of Podman, or Podman on Power or Power Man or…but I digress. Confession, it’s been a long time since I played with a POWER system. The last time I did it, it was difficult to get Linux booted up. Now days, with Red Hat Virtualization,
