Cons
  • cious Teams Editor rating 4.5 / 5 Founded 2018 Headquarters Raleigh, USA What is Podman ?
  • Podman is Red Hat's answer to Docker for teams that want containers without a privileged daemon.
  • It runs OCI containers and pods rootlessly, with a CLI close enough to Docker's that most commands carry over by aliasing the binary.
  • The daemonless, rootless architecture is the security argument, and it lands well with security-conscious teams and Linux-first developers who'd rather not run a root-owned daemon.
  • Being open source and free helps.
  • Pricing and usage limits should be checked against the exact plan
  • Implementation effort depends on the team's data and process maturity
  • Reported outcomes should be validated with the buyer's own data
