Open Container Initiative

The Open Container Initiative (OCI) is a Linux Foundation project, started in June 2015 by Docker, to design open standards for operating-system-level virtualization (software containers), most importantly Linux containers.[1]

Initiative

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

OCI develops runc,[2][3] 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.[4]
