Container sprawl sneaks up on you. One day you’ve got a couple of Docker services, then suddenly you’re juggling stacks, clusters, permissions, updates, and the classic question, “Where did that container even come from?”

In this episode, we talk about Portainer as a practical control layer for your container world. We’ll walk through how it manages stacks and apps from Git, how automatic updates work (polling or webhooks), and why that matters when you want repeatable deployments instead of click ops chaos.

We’ll also touch on what’s been evolving lately, like Helm GitOps support for automatic upgrades when your chart or override files change, plus the state of Observability features (including the “experimental, use it in test” warning).

Finally, we’ll do a quick positioning check so you know where Portainer fits:
Rancher as a multi cluster Kubernetes management layer, OpenShift’s Operator driven lifecycle approach, and Amazon EKS as a managed Kubernetes option when you want AWS to carry more of the control plane burden.
