OCI

In plain terms

Open standards for container images and runtimes.

Going deeper

The Open Container Initiative defines vendor-neutral specs for container image format and runtime, ensuring interoperability across tools. It standardizes containers.

Under the hood

OCI image and runtime specs let images run across Docker, Podman, containerd, etc.

Examples

OCI images, container interoperability, image format standard, runtimes.

Think of it like...

Like a universal shipping-container standard so any crane and ship can handle them.
