Kubernetes orchestrates Docker [packaging] ... is more of the term.
But Kubernetes can use Podman [packaging] and tooling too.

Moby is the Upstream project now, which is a bit of an
over-simplification.  Red Hat is not helping things by putting non-Podman
et al. in the 'Extras' channel, which means they make no guarantees of
non-breakage in updates -- like what happened to use with RHEL7.7.  RHEL8
enables CGroups v2 by default, which means Moby doesn't work by default, so
isn't installed by default.

But the poster here was talking about Proxmox ...

Again ... no one has still explained the Proxmox components to me, and
every time I get a few minutes to look at the architecture-code, I see a
lot of copyright and Upstream that isn't theirs.  I honestly wish I had
enterprise experience with Proxmox, but it's hardly the only FLOSS out
there, let alone relies on so much Upstream.

I.e., it's not the only thing 'fighting' VMware's ecosystem based on
mid-sized (1-5K instance) environments that were 90% Windows just 10 years
ago, but becoming >>50% RHEL (like my current, mid-sized employer).

Professional Experience:  I've been 'fighting' VMware since oVirt (RH[E]V)
and Origin (OpenShift) became available at the start of this decade.  And
they know who I am for that reason, especially when I was publicly critical
of their 'joke' of an API in Perl back in '08-09, and was attempting to
automating all sorts of crap.  As IBM put it to me very well in FSI,
"VMware doesn't care, they don't see it as something they should care
about, they make a lot on the Windows ecosphere and selling their
professional services and 'point'n click' job security for its users."
Well, I was one of the people that made them care with some massive wins,
including an 8 figure one (that cost them the potential 9 figures of their
money).

So, if anyone wants to take this off-list, I'm all ears.  I want to
understand Proxmox architecture and code better than I have been exposed
to.  Enterprise experience is key for me, and I don't like to assume from
just reading things, especially automating and orchestrating a lot with
other tooling the past, full decade-plus -- both VM and pre-LXC
'cartridges/gears' (i.e., early OpenShift 'pods,' if you will).
