It's interesting that Redhat promotes this, despite having already invested quite a lot into systemd-nspawn for roughly the same purpose. Between it and lxd there's already some options for these sorts of simple, single-host container runtimes.

Podman is also Red Hat do they win either way.

Anyway, I think that Podman is the mature Docker and tries to fit much better into the linux/unix-y way of doing things. Especially, being daemonless allows to integrate into systemd, etc. the way it should, and makes for a mature integration of containers into the ecosystem.
