Podman
Many think of Podman to be a replacement for Docker (if they have heard of Podman at all). But this is not the case, as Podman is another option that offers better security and developer features. Podman is a cloud-native, daemonless tool that helps developers manage their Linux containers. Podman is all about security, but also minimizing the friction between your local development environment and production.
Podman uses a microservices approach, creating a network with many other cloud-native products, such as Buildah and Skopeo, to build and push containers. This makes Podman a lighter and faster application than Docker, allowing for customization and changes.
In this article, we will explore three advantages of Podman vs. Docker related to extensions and embedded tools integrated in the Podman Desktop, as well as the underlying technologies for the container engine:
- Podman makes creating pods easy.
- Podman's Kubeify feature lets you move from your container, pod, or volume to a Kubernetes pod with zero friction.
- Podman offers better tools and extensions, such as pulling images, security, and auditing features.
