Singularity has been renamed to Apptainer as part of us moving the project to the Linux Foundation. This repo has been persisted as a snapshot right before the changes. (by apptainer)

Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods
This sounds exactly like Singularity http://singularity.hpcng.org/

What is a singularity container and how do I use it?
never used it but a very popular example of a container is docker (that link says what a container is) and singularity just looks like another container flavour (maybe specific to HPCs?)

Youki, a container runtime in Rust, passed all the default tests provided by opencontainers.
The re-exec pattern is not the only way you can solve this in Go. I actually rebuilt a container runtime from C to Go (for the HPC market) and we had to solve this problem. We did it by essentially forking before any Go code gets run. Here’s the code for the main binary that actually spawns the container process. It’s half C, half Go. https://github.com/hpcng/singularity/tree/master/cmd/starter

You should maybe look into Kaniko or use some other build tool

Schedule on Least Utilized Node
If you are using the docker socket just for building container images, you might want to look into kaniko. It doesn't use docker to build images. If you use the socket also for starting containers (we are actually doing that in our CI pipelines), you could think about limiting the pods Kubernetes schedules on a node (you can change the default of 110 using the kubelet config file).

Are there tools you can use to improve your docker containers like Docker Slim?
Check out Kaniko for building containers https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko . Only issue is it doesnt support windows containers.

You should use the OpenSSF Scorecard
It took less than 5 minutes to install. It quickly analysed the repo and identified easy ways to make the project more secure. Priya Wadhwa, Kaniko

Run Docker from within AWS Lambda?
I'd suggest to take a look at the Kaniko project, combined with custom container images in Lambda functions.

Faster Docker image builds in Cloud Build with layer caching
kaniko is a tool that allows you to build container images inside Kubernetes without the need for the Docker daemon. Effectively, it allows you to build Docker images without docker build.

Switching from docker-compose to k3s - what is needed ?
Kubernetes prefers to pull containers from registries. You may be able to work around it by specifying a local image in your Kube manifest. Both https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko and/ or https://www.devspace.sh/ may help.
What are some alternatives?
