Version: 5.6.2 Linux MacOS containers

At a high level, the scope of Podman and libpod is the following:

Support for multiple container image formats, including OCI and Docker images.
Full management of those images, including pulling from various sources (including trust and verification), creating (built via Containerfile or Dockerfile or committed from a container), and pushing to registries and other storage backends.
Full management of container lifecycle, including creation (both from an image and from an exploded root filesystem), running, checkpointing and restoring (via CRIU), and removal.
Full management of container networking, using Netavark.
Support for pods, groups of containers that share resources and are managed together.
Support for running containers and pods without root or other elevated privileges.
Resource isolation of containers and pods.
Support for a Docker-compatible CLI interface, which can both run containers locally and on remote systems.
No manager daemon, for improved security and lower resource utilization at idle.
Support for a REST API providing both a Docker-compatible interface and an improved interface exposing advanced Podman functionality.
Support for running on Windows and Mac via virtual machines run by podman machine.
