Documented steps
For stdin: pipe YAML in with `cat pod.yml | podman kube play -` (the input can also be a single file path, `-` for stdin, or an https:// URL).
For a URL: `podman kube play https://podman.io/demo.yml` reads and applies the remote YAML directly.
Multiple files can be combined: `podman kube play a.yml b.yml https://example.com/c.yml` — they are processed sequentially and merged with '---' document separators.
Verify created resources with `podman pod list` and `podman ps -a`.

Known gotchas
On-the-fly image building (when a local dir matching the image name has a Containerfile) is NOT available for remote clients — macOS/Windows excluding WSL2.
Tear down later with `podman kube down <same-input>`; a URL that has changed since creation will fail to tear down.
