    While it always depends on your use case, I believe security concerns of need for root user is a concern, so it is worth considering daemonless container service over Docker, which works just as good and has support for docker compose. Another good reason is the licensing for enterprise usage, which podman has no restrictions for. It’s also a great choice for OpenShift integration, which is seamless and works well with Rancher as well.

    Vultr
    Vultr is amazing for anyone who needs a server and wants to spend time taking care of it, or for someone who wants in on it. WordPress Minecraft kids can use Votr. The scenario is not as appropriate for the people who do not have as much technical knowledge and capacity and don't want to invest in it, not because of Votr itself, but because VPS is not kids' play. Even though we have a Minecraft server and they're quite easy, there will come a time when, if you put your business infrastructure inside Vultr or any VPS, you need to take care of it. Otherwise, it will have a problem.

    Pros
    Open Source

    • It works exceptionally well and is compatible with Docker compose
    • Podman Desktop actually makes individual usage also pretty easy.
    • It can be used as Docker alternative with almost no additional steps

    Cons
    Open Source
    • Podman desktop is getting more stable with each version, but does need more UX friendliness as well.
    • Official support for development tools and IDEs is missing for most tools
    • It works well with Kubernetes, but I wouldn’t mind additional improvements

    • There have been times where my VPS is affected by a noisy nieghbour. Would be good to have this actively monitored and mitigated.
    • Being based in South Africa, it would be nice to have pricing parity options for weaker countries (even if for lower level servers). Sometimes I need throw away or temporary servers, but USD 5 is still expensive in weaker currencies, and can stack up quickly.

    Just a great product with no bells and whistles, which is the advantage. We spend very little time learning and using Vultr and more time using the systems we have in Vultr to complete our tasks. Not having to worry about the IT overhead is huge and saves a great deal of time

    easy to use and configure. great bang for the buck. I need an affordable solution to host in the cloud data from systems installed at our client's site with the ability to drill down and change the configuration remotely. Vultr enabled us to do that in an efficient and affordable way.

    Vultr makes it easy to contact technical support. The techs are very competent. In a number of occasions they have bounced the responsibility back to me when they could have saved us all time and heartache by simply implementing the solution directly

    Vultr implementation seemed based on open-source tools and basic cloud principles - some things were more complicated to do compared with more developed cloud providers, but on the other hand it was more extensible by open-source tools.

    Podman is Daemonless, lightweight and doesn’t charge us for commercial usage, so it’s a relief for startups. Minikube and Rancher are a bit more complex for our use cases; so we keep things simple, fast and secure with Podman that can easily be managed with Podman Desktop and other works with our docker-compose based projects without issues.

    Linode is a more old-school offering. Linode pricing model and infrastructure rely on classic Virtual Machines. What we like about Vultr is that they offer the same at the front, but in the back, the machines are much more flexible and can be tailor-made to our needs, which of course also impacts the costs of running the infrastructure.
