I’ve read that standard containers are optimized for developer productivity and not security, which makes sense.

But then what would be ideal to use for security? Suppose I want to isolate environments from each other for security purposes, to run questionable programs or reduce attack surface. What are some secure solutions?

Something without the performance hit of VMs

    Do you think Podman is ready to take over Docker? My understanding is that Podman is Docker without the root requirement.

      Yes it is. I’ve been using it for more than a year now. Works reliably. Has pod support aswel.

        Great. I don’t know enough to use either but I think I’m going to try lean on podman from the get go. In any case, I know that all podman commands are exactly identical to Docker, such that you can replace, say, docker compose with podman compose and move on with ease.

          With the specific exception of podman compose I completely agree. I haven’t tested it for a while but podman compose has had issues with compose file syntax in my experience. Especially with network configs.

          However, I have been using “docker-compose” with podman’s docker compatible socket implementation when necessary, with great success
