The big takeaway for me is that they consider Podman ready to use because it's honestly amazing. A fully featured container engine that doesn't need any elevated privileges or a central daemon -- using just Linux namespacing features. Once people realize the implications of having containers just being something you can run like any other program with zero fanfare I expect adoption to explode.

I suspect that Windows and macOS support going to be a big impediment to adoption of RH's container tools. Fedora has become a really good OS and Silverblue is going to be another level of awesome on top, but I don't see huge numbers of developers switching.

There still seems to be some confusing overlap in their tools. For example, what is the difference between "buildah" and "podman build"?

`podman` keeps the compatibility with Docker CLI params, so `podman build` is a wrapper around `buildah bud`
