The article discusses this, but the big win is that podman runs "rootless" (as a role user, not root), which can reduce system security exposure when building images. It also doesn't require a daemon which could be considered a single point of failure.

The article is comparing podman to Docker, and discussion of benefits is largely centred around the part I already know - there is no daemon.

I was wondering if those that have actually worked with podman had more insights.
