Hello,

I came across the documentation for podman\_container: [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/containers/podman/podman\_container\_module.html#ansible-collections-containers-podman-podman-container-module](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/containers/podman/podman_container_module.html#ansible-collections-containers-podman-podman-container-module)

I want to run a podman container is a designated pod. On the command like I could do:

podman run   
–pod my\_pod\_name   
–name my\_container\_name   
image\_name

However, I did not find the option to specify the pod name in the Ansible module. How can I specify the pod name?
