Older container technologies like Docker have been prone to security vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2019-5736 and CVE-2022-0847, which allowed for potential host system compromise. Podman changes the game by eliminating the need for a persistent background service like the Docker daemon, enhancing security by running containers under user privileges. With features like systemd integration, native pod support, and a focus on running containers well, Podman presents a clear evolution in container technology, making the migration process seamless and secure.
