I remember when container builds were slow and not really efficient, and were usually a bottleneck of our CI/CD pipelines. That is until I discovered BuildKit and my life changed. BuildKit is the next-generation builder engine for Docker, but it can also be used independently.

In the intensity of working as a DevOps engineer with the container, I have found Podman to be a game-changer in teams that take the security aspect seriously-that means avoiding root privileges. It's daemonless compared with Docker, which is a big architectural change. Daemonless approach just magically changes how teams do container security in production environments.

Working with legacy applications that needed full system access taught me that a different way to do containerization is by using LXC/LXD. The focus in system containers, rather than application containers, can be thought of like a light VM rather than what most consider the typical container.

Having operated large Kubernetes clusters, one learns to love the focused approach of containerd. A light-weight, high-performance container runtime, it powers a lot of container platforms, including indirectly, Kubernetes. From my experience, containerd really does one thing and does it well: it runs containers efficiently.
