The Open Container Initiative (OCI) is a Linux Foundation project to design open standards for operating-system-level virtualization, most importantly Linux containers.[1] There are currently two specifications in development and in use: Runtime Specification (runtime-spec) and the Image Specification (image-spec).

OCI develops runC[2], 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[3] and it is included in RHEL 8.0 [4] as a Docker replacement.
