Developers working locally often seek a fast inner loop for coding, building, and testing their OCI images and Kubernetes applications.

For instance, when testing a new image in a Kubernetes pod, the image must be accessible either by pushing it to a private or public registry or by ensuring it's available on the Kubernetes cluster nodes. This often requires additional commands such as kind load docker-image, minikube cache add <image>, or publishing the image to a third-party registry.

In this blog post, we’ll introduce a new extension called MINC (MicroShift IN Container), which provides a MicroShift cluster running within an existing Podman Machine environment.

As developers we constantly improve and refine our applications. One of the challenges we face is quickly iterating when working with container images and kubernetes deployments/pods.

For example, when we want to try a new image in a kubernetes pod, this image needs to be available on a private/public registry or on the nodes of the kubernetes cluster. Sometimes we need to call extra commands such as kind load docker-image or minikube cache add <image> or publish the image first to a 3rd party registry.

You'll agree that trying out a new image in a Kubernetes pod should be as seamless as building the image itself.

In this blog post, we will explore the best practice for streamlining the image iteration process in Kubernetes with Podman Desktop.
