Description

In view of security practices and hardening isolation of the cluster I would argue podman to be preferential over docker. This is effectively a drop-in replacement and works in the same fashion with KinD. Podman runs containers in the user namespace and therby would protect against container breakouts giving root privileges. It additionally operates without a daemon and is comparably lighter-weight comparative to docker as a result.
