The OCI was formed in 2015 when developers recognized that the quickly growing container industry needed standards to ensure the portability of containers across systems and platforms. As one of the most popular container developers, Docker was a key partner in the formation of the OCI and donated its specifications and associated code for OCI image formats and runtime specifications.https://deploy-preview-3155--ornate-narwhal-088216.netlify.app/open-source/oci/what-are-oci-artifacts/Thu, 09 Jun 2022 15:22:20 +0100https://deploy-preview-3155--ornate-narwhal-088216.netlify.app/open-source/oci/what-are-oci-artifacts/OCI artifacts are a way of using OCI registries, or container registries that are compliant with specifications set by the Open Container Initiative, to store arbitrary files. They are useful to understand given their growing importance for software supply chain security and their general utility for container engineering. However, community usage of OCI artifacts is still actively evolving and differing opinions and understandings of their purpose can lead to confusion. In this guide, you will learn the difference between OCI “artifacts” and “Artifacts,” their utility for software supply chain security, and some important considerations when using them.
