What is the Open Container Initiative (OCI)?
- AAn open governance project that defines standard specifications for container images and runtimes
- BA proprietary container engine maintained by a single vendor for its own cloud platform only
- CA registry service that hosts and distributes public container images to the community
- DA certification body that tests whether container images are free of known vulnerabilities
Why this is the answer
The OCI is an open project under the Linux Foundation that publishes the image, runtime, and distribution specs. It is not a single-vendor engine, not a hosted registry (it defines the registry API, not a service), and not a security scanner — it standardizes formats, not vulnerability testing.
