     1  # Podman - Simple debugging tool for pods and images
     2  Podman is a daemonless container runtime for managing containers, pods, and container images.
     3  It is intended as a counterpart to CRI-O, to provide low-level debugging not available through the CRI interface used by Kubernetes.
     4  It can also act as a container runtime independent of CRI-O, creating and managing its own set of containers.
