Podman

Podman is an open-source tool that allows users to create, manage, and run containers—isolated environments for deploying applications—without the need for a central daemon. Unlike other tools, it operates in a rootless mode, enhancing security by avoiding root privileges. Containers help package applications with their dependencies, ensuring they run consistently across different systems. Podman’s design makes it suitable for development, testing, and production use, offering a familiar command-line interface similar to Docker but with added security and flexibility. It simplifies application deployment while maintaining system security and resource efficiency.
