Quadlet: Running Podman containers under systemd (mo8it.com) | 298 points | 68 comments | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43456934

Where do quadlets fit in the container management landscape?

Running individual services that would have been RPMs? Docker compose? K8s?

Essentially this. Rather than adding anything on top of systemd (which is almost certainly running anyway) quadlets are a way of turning containers into systemd units, and directing systemd to run them

I think it is the lightest weight, but still convenient, way of running a container as a daemon, with all the pros and cons that implies
