Abstract
It is safe to say that Container images helped define the cloud native era. The success of containers was made possible by a rich ecosystem along with a set of standards defined by the Open Container Initiative (OCI) which governs packaging, distributing and running containers. While most users are familiar with traditional container images, there’s an entirely separate type of OCI based content known as OCI Artifacts that has driven the most recent advances in cloud native technology and promises to lay the foundation for the next generation of innovation.
OCI Artifacts enable arbitrary types of content to be packaged and stored within container registries and have grown in popularity in recent years to support everything from software packages, security assets, along with the next generation of AI and ML content.
In this session, attendees will learn the basics of OCI artifacts, how they differentiate from container images, and how they are being used today. In addition, attendees will learn about the key Open Source projects that support the management and use of OCI artifacts and how to get involved.
By being able to reuse well established infrastructure and patterns, OCI artifacts aim to support the challenges and use cases of today and the opportunities of tomorrow.
