The title of this series - 'Dockerless' - requires an explanation. Use promo code MKDOCKERLESS for 10% discount on the new Dockerless course by Kirill Shirinkin UPDATE 2: Since the demand for Dockerless way has grown, I have compiled a video course DOCKERLESS: Re-explore containers from open standards perspective, that explores the open container standards and investigate them on practice by using half a dozen various container tools. UPDATE: After writing this series, I also made a video in which I show how to use Podman and Systemd to build and run containers. I will either elaborate in the reply or extend the article. If you still don't understand something, then drop a comment below the article. If you don't understand some parts of the article, then follow all the links I put in the text. There are plenty of fantastic articles and videos out there and I will link the ones I find most useful. Disclaimer: I do not attempt to re-write existing content on topics like containers and containerization standards.
