I don't know about internals so it may not apply but regarding the use case I described briefly, I know what pod to update and what new image to use. Also, the image is available at the time the update must be performed. 

Taking Kubernetes as an example [1], from a CLI point of view, I would see something like this:

> podman rolling-update PODNAME --image=IMAGE:TAG

The main point is about updating the service/pod without an outage.

Thanks for the information.

Just to understand, why are you considering a periodic job?

We don't know when the image that the container is based on will be updated.  So checking once a day seems like a reasonable thing to do.  How else would you suggest we do this?

OK, so for now, the only solution seems to deploy a proxy that supports dynamic configurations with no restarts?

Is there a simple manner to manage something similar to a Kubernetes rolling update? By rolling update, I mean performing an update with no service interruptions (i.e. starting a new pod running the new app version, switch the network traffic to the new pod and terminate the old pod).

We are actually investigating this workflow. But have not taken as far
as you want.  The idea would be to be running a container, and then have
a job start periodically that would see if their was an update to the
image that the container was running on.  It would pull the image down
and restart the container service, which would destroy the old container
and create a new container with the same params.  This however would not
maintain the the connections.
