About runc

The Open Container Initiative (OCI) is a governance structure focused on creating open industry standards for container formats and runtimes. Founded in 2015 by Docker and other container technology leaders, OCI develops specifications that define how container images are formatted, distributed, and executed. These specifications include the Runtime Specification, Image Specification, and Distribution Specification, which collectively enable interoperability and consistency across container platforms.

OCI is designed for enterprises and organizations adopting containerization technologies who require standardized, vendor-neutral container formats to ensure portability and compatibility across diverse cloud and on-premises environments. By adhering to OCI standards, organizations can reduce vendor lock-in, streamline container management, and improve security and reliability in their cloud infrastructure deployments. The initiative also offers certification programs to validate compliance with these open standards, supporting enterprise-grade container operations.

Our buyer guides across Cloud Infrastructure. Each one compares the main vendors in its category and what buyers weigh up.

Backup & Disaster Recovery
Evaluate Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, Cohesity, Dell PowerProtect, and Druva against your real RTO and RPO targets β€” with ransomware resilience, not backup windows, as the deciding criterion.
Cloud Cost Management & FinOps
Compare IBM Apptio Cloudability, VMware Tanzu CloudHealth (Broadcom), Flexera One, Harness, Finout, Zesty, and Vantage on the question this category actually turns on β€” not whether a dashboard is pretty, but whether shared-cost allocation is accurate, committed-use buying is optimized, and engineering acts on the recommendations.
Cloud Infrastructure & IaaS
Compare AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, IBM Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and DigitalOcean on the one thing the pricing calculator hides β€” egress, support-tier costs, committed-use discounts, and lock-in β€” not the on-demand compute rate the demo shows you.
