1. List all images on your local system:

   $ podman images
   REPOSITORY                           TAG     IMAGE ID      CREATED      SIZE
   registry.redhat.io/rhel10/support-tools     latest  4b32d14201de  7 weeks ago  228 MB

   localhost/myubi                      X.Y     3269c37eae33  7 weeks ago  208 MB

2. List all containers:

   $ podman ps -a
   CONTAINER ID  IMAGE                                    COMMAND          CREATED        STATUS            PORTS   NAMES
