actully im not sure about that buildah should actully be pretty simple to add support for.
its been a while but we looksed at swaping out the building with a python script a few years ago
https://review.opendev.org/#/c/503882/
and it really did not take that much to enable so simply invoking buildah in a simlar maner should be trivail.

podman support will be harder but again we confied all interaction with docker in kolla-ansibel to be via
https://github.com/openstack/kolla-ansible/blob/master/ansible/library/kolla_docker.py
so we sould jsut need to write a similar module that would work with podman and then select the correct one to use.
the interface is a little large but it shoudld reactively mechanical to implement podman supprot.
