25.3 Fedora 31 Container Tools
Fedora 31 provides a number of tools for creating, inspecting and managing containers. The main tools are as follows:
•buildah – A command-line tool for building container images.
•podman – A command-line based container runtime and management tool. Performs tasks such as downloading container images from remote registries and inspecting, starting and stopping images.
•skopeo – A command-line utility used to convert container images, copy images between registries and inspect images stored in registries without the need to download them.
•runc – A lightweight container runtime for launching and running containers from the command-line.
All of the above tools are compliant with the Open Container Initiative (OCI), a set of specifications designed to ensure that containers conform to the same standards between competing tools and platforms.
