Summary
MINC (MicroShift IN Container) is a new Podman Desktop extension designed to streamline local Kubernetes development by enabling developers to directly use images built with Podman, thus avoiding the time-consuming steps of pushing and loading images required by traditional methods. With a fully functional MicroShift cluster running inside a Podman environment, developers benefit from faster iterations and simplified routing for applications deployed in Kubernetes, making local development more efficient and less resource-intensive.
