Open Container Initiative

The Open Container Initiative (OCI) is a Linux Foundation project, started in June 2015 by Docker, CoreOS, and the maintainers of appc (short for "App Container") to design open standards for operating system-level virtualization (containers).[1][2][3] At launch, OCI was focused on Linux containers and subsequent work has extended it to other operating systems.[4][5][6]
