podman is a daemonless, rootless container engine that manages OCI-compliant containers and images. Unlike Docker, it does not require a background daemon process, and containers can run entirely as an unprivileged user.
The CLI is designed to be drop-in compatible with Docker, supporting familiar commands like run, build, pull, ps, stop, and rm. Podman also supports pods (groups of containers sharing namespaces), which align with Kubernetes pod concepts. Developed by Red Hat, it uses Buildah for image building and crun/runc as the container runtime.
