kube play: support auto updates and rollbacks
Add auto-update support to `podman kube play`. Auto-update policies can
be configured for:
* the entire pod via the `io.containers.autoupdate` annotation
* a specific container via the `io.containers.autoupdate/$name` annotation
To make use of rollbacks, the `io.containers.sdnotify` policy should be
set to `container` such that the workload running _inside_ the container
can send the READY message via the NOTIFY_SOCKET once ready. For
further details on auto updates and rollbacks, please refer to the
specific article [1].
Since auto updates and rollbacks bases on Podman's systemd integration,
the k8s YAML must be executed in the `podman-kube@` systemd template.
For further details on how to run k8s YAML in systemd via Podman, please
refer to the specific article [2].
An examplary k8s YAML may look as follows:
```YAML
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
annotations:
io.containers.autoupdate: "local"
io.containers.autoupdate/b: "registry"
labels:
app: test
name: test_pod
spec:
containers:
- command:
- top
image: alpine
name: a
- command:
- top
image: alpine
name: b
```

As mentioned above, `podman auto-update` requires the containers to be running systemd. Podman ships with a systemd template that can be instantiated with a Kubernetes YAML file, see podman-generate-systemd(1). + +To enable auto updates for containers running in a Kubernetes workload, set the following Podman-specific annotations in the YAML: + * `io.containers.autoupdate: "registry|local"` to apply the auto-update policy to all containers + * `io.containers.autoupdate/$container: "registry|local"` to apply the auto-update policy to `$container` only + * `io.containers.sdnotify: "conmon|container"` to apply the sdnotify policy to all containers + * `io.containers.sdnotify/$container: "conmon|container"` to apply the sdnotify policy to `$container` only + +By default, the autoupdate policy is set to "disabled", the sdnotify policy is set to "conmon". + ### Systemd Unit and Timer Podman ships with a `podman-auto-update.service` systemd unit. This unit is triggered daily at midnight by the `podman-auto-update.timer` systemd timer. The timer can be altered for custom time-based updates if desired. The unit can further be invoked by other systemd units (e.g., via the dependency tree) or manually via **systemctl start podman-auto-update.service**. |
