Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Stop all running containers using 'podman stop $(podman ps -q)'.
Why this is correct
Combining 'podman stop' with the container IDs returned by 'podman ps -q' stops all active containers.
- ✗
Directly edit a running container's image tag using 'podman edit --tag'.
Why it's wrong here
Container images and tags cannot be edited directly on running containers using a 'podman edit' command.
- ✗
Instantly migrate a running container to a remote physical server using 'podman migrate'.
Why it's wrong here
There is no 'podman migrate' command for live container migration across physical hosts in standard Podman.
- ✓
Remove all stopped containers using 'podman container prune'.
Why this is correct
The 'podman container prune' command removes all stopped containers from the system.
- ✓
Restart a specific container using 'podman restart <container_name>'.
Why this is correct
The 'podman restart' command gracefully restarts the specified container.
