1.Docker: The most well-known containerization tool, Docker is known for its ease of use, portability, and integration with Docker Hub. It allows developers to package applications with all dependencies, ensuring consistency across different environments.
2.: Podman is an open-source container engine similar to Docker but without the need for a central daemon. It is designed for Kubernetes and is known for its security features, allowing users to run containers without root privileges.
3.Kubernetes: Although primarily an orchestration tool, Kubernetes also supports container creation and management through CRI (Container Runtime Interface). It’s popular for managing containerized applications at scale across clusters of hosts.
4.LXC (Linux Containers): LXC provides OS-level virtualization, allowing multiple isolated Linux systems to run on a single host. It’s lightweight compared to Docker and is sometimes used for more system-level containerization.
5.Containerd: Initially a core component of Docker, Containerd has since evolved into a standalone, industry-standard runtime. It manages container lifecycle operations and integrates well with Kubernetes through CRI, making it efficient for managing containers at scale.
