The Open Container Initiative (OCI) project has released version 1.3 of the OCI Runtime specification. The specification defines the behavior and configuration interface for launching and managing isolated containers, standardizing interaction with low-level runtime components such as runc, crun, youki, gVisor, and Kata Containers. OCI Runtime ensures interchangeability of such components in high-level toolkits like containerd and CRI-O.
The release of OCI Runtime 1.3 is notable for the addition of FreeBSD platform support in the specification, which employs the FreeBSD Jails mechanism for container isolation. As a low-level runtime, runj can be used on FreeBSD. The official support in OCI Runtime underscores the applicability of FreeBSD with OCI-compatible high-level containerization and orchestration tools, making the FreeBSD platform more appealing for use in cloud infrastructures and enterprise systems adhering to industry standards.
