学习云计算-OCI组织-推动docker发展

The Open Container Initiative is a lightweight, open governance structure, formed under the auspices of the Linux Foundation, for the express purpose of creating open industry standards around container formats and runtime. The OCI was launched on June 22nd 2015.

In the past two years, there has been rapid growth in both interest in and usage of container-based solutions. Almost all major IT vendors and cloud providers have announced container-based solutions, and there has been a proliferation of start-ups founded in this area as well. While the proliferation of ideas in this space is welcome, the promise of containers as a source of application portability requires the establishment of certain standards around format and runtime. While the rapid growth of the Docker project has served to make the Docker image format a de facto standard for many purposes, there is widespread interest in a more formal, open, industry specification, which is:
•not bound to higher level constructs such as a particular client or orchestration stack
•not tightly associated with any particular commercial vendor or project
•portable across a wide variety of operating systems, hardware, CPU architectures, public clouds, etc.
