Open Container Initiative

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Gtewallace (talk | contribs) at 17:32, 1 September 2023 (A discussion in the Open Container Initiative slack pointed out that there was an opportunity to expand and improve this entry to include CoreOS and the maintainers of appc as part of the launch of OCI, and to point out that, subsequent to launch, work has been done to extend OCI beyond the initial focus on Linux containers. I will be making additional updates to the "Initiative" section shortly to provide additional detail). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The Open Container Initiative (OCI) is a Linux Foundation project, started in June 2015 by Docker, CoreOS, and the maintainers of appc to design open standards for operating-system-level virtualization (software containers).[1][2][3] At launch, OCI was focused on Linux containers and subsequent work has extended it to other operating systems.[4][5][6]


Initiative

There are currently two specifications in development and in use: Runtime Specification (runtime-spec) and the Image Specification (image-spec).

OCI develops runc,[7][8] a container runtime that implements their specification and serves as a basis for other higher-level tools. runc was first released in July 2015 as version 0.0.1.[9]
