Podman is a daemon-less container runtime for managing containers, pods, and container images. It is intended as a counterpart to CRI-O, to provide low-level debugging not available through the CRI interface used by Kubernetes. It can also act as a container runtime independent of CRI-O, creating and managing its own set of containers. Podman is a drop-in replacement for Docker.
