Rootless containers¶

Rootless containers are containers that run without requiring root (administrator) privileges on the host system^[400-devops-03-containerization-podman.md].

Benefits¶

Running containers as a non-root user increases security.^[400-devops-03-containerization-podman.md] This approach aligns with the principle of least privilege, ensuring that the container process does not have unnecessary access to the host system.
