OCI (Open Container Initiative)

The Open Container Initiative (OCI) is a collaborative project aimed at creating standards for container technology, which allows software to run consistently across different computing environments. Containers package an application and its dependencies, ensuring it works the same way, whether on a developer's laptop or in a large data center. By establishing common specifications, the OCI promotes interoperability and compatibility among different container tools and platforms, making it easier for developers and organizations to adopt and use container technology without being locked into a single vendor. This fosters innovation and efficiency in software development and deployment.
