RIP docker-in-docker: building images securely
Use podman docker shim application to build images, to enhance security by allowing rootless, daemonless operation, which reduces attack surfaces, and offers cost savings through lower resource overhead and no licensing fees.

Publish and reuse Compose stacks on container registries
Back to the roots. From DABs, to Docker Apps, to Helm and now with the latest features of container registries reusable stacks are easier with just Docker Compose. In this talk we will see how we can publish and reuse whole compose stacks to container registries, bringing DRY (Do not Repeat Yourself) principles to the next level.
