Podman, short for “Pod Manager” is an open-source tool for managing containerized applications on Linux. It allows users to create, run, and manage containers in a safe and efficient manner. Podman is built on top of the libpod library, which provides an API for interacting with containers and pods.

Docker is a platform that allows developers to easily create, deploy, and run applications in containers. Containers are a lightweight form of virtualization that allow you to package and isolate an application and its dependencies in a single container. This makes it easy to run the application on any machine that has Docker installed, without the need for any additional setup or configuration.

Docker is a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers. Containers allow a developer to package up an application with all of the parts it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies, and ship it all out as one package.

Docker is a containerization platform that allows you to package an application with all of its dependencies into a standardized unit for software development. This makes it easier to develop, test, and deploy applications, as you can be sure that the application will run consistently regardless of the environment it is being run in.
