Managing containers with Podman

Same but Different

Conclusions

Because the Podman syntax is almost identical to that of the docker command-line tool, Docker-savvy admins should not have much trouble getting used to Podman. Some users have even set alias docker=podman in their shell environment. Under the hood, however, the two container engines are fundamentally different. Whereas Docker relies on a powerful daemon in the background, Podman uses the fork-exec model and has some interesting features on-board.
