Open Standards - Empowering Cloud-Native Innovation
summary
History and concrete specs explain why open standards matter: containers proliferate after Docker (2013) and rkt (2014), OCI formalizes image/runtime/distribution in June 2015, Kubernetes 1.0 (2015) prompts CRI (adds a CRI gRPC API and protobufs in 1.5) so runtimes become pluggable, and CNI/CSI define networking and storage plugins. Registry uses Docker Registry v2; examples include containerd, runc, Flannel, OpenEBS, and ECR. Result: OCI image spec, CNI plugins, Open Application Model (OAM) enable vendor innovation, user extensibility, and cross-tool interoperability.
