More Drivers
Current Drivers
Currently podman-machine ships with the following drivers:
virtualbox(default)qemu(kvm/hax/hvf)generic(ssh)
These are built-in, and don’t require any external programs…
Future Drivers
Not everyone likes VirtualBox or QEMU, so add more drivers:
libvirt(linux)hyperv(windows)xhyve(darwin)
With the plugin functionality, they can be added externally.
Difference
Mostly the podman-machine drivers are the same as the ones
for docker-machine, except for the url and the swarm support.

So it should be rather straight-forward to fork them for podman.
Go makes it easy to cross-compile, use containers for the rest…
