| guide | On March 14, Shurenyun announced to officially join the OCI (The Open Container Initiative) alliance. Renyun became the third domestic cloud computing company to join the OCI Alliance after Huawei and EasyStack, and it was also the first local container start-up company to join the organization. |
At the same time, Shurenyun is also honored to be a member of the Linux Foundation. The Foundation is a non-profit alliance whose purpose is to coordinate and promote the development of Linux systems , as well as to promote, protect and regulate Linux.
In June 2015, Docker and the Linux Foundation announced the joint launch of the Open Container Project, OCP. The Open Container Project has now been renamed the Open Container Initiative, OCI. The OCI Alliance aims to develop neutral, open, and convenient industrial standards around container formats and runtimes, so that developers can freely choose different container runtime environments. Now the supporters of the OCI alliance include industry giants, innovative companies and a large number of enterprise users. The joining of these companies and enterprises is very beneficial to the alliance, and they bring expertise in their respective fields to the project.
The initial members of the OCI Alliance include internationally renowned cloud computing companies such as Docker, Microsoft, and Intel. In addition to launching the container runtime standard, the OCI Alliance also launched the Open Container OCI Image File Standard, which is set by the container technology community and establishes the methods for creating, authenticating, signing, and naming container image files to help developers freely package application containers. , and run with a different container engine.
In recent years, container technology has become a revolutionary technology that has a profound impact on the field of cloud computing. It has a profound impact on the delivery method, efficiency, and construction of PaaS platforms for cloud computing. Container technology can help customers quickly build cloud-native applications, achieve continuous integration and delivery, and accelerate application iteration cycles. Many enterprises have already used this technology in actual projects, and containers have become an important supporting technology for enterprises to implement micro-service architecture transformation and realize the concept of DevOps operation and maintenance architecture.
However, the application of container technology also faces many challenges. Multiple technologies and platforms coexist, and a unified standard has not yet been formed. The development of container runtime standards not only allows work to be performed in different cloud environments, but also across container runtime environments. Therefore, establishing a container format and runtime standard that can be executed in any operating environment under open standards is of great significance to the entire container field.
Xiao Deshi, CTO of Shurenyun, pointed out that the next-generation IT infrastructure will soon adopt the container runtime standard, and the OCI alliance provides a very good platform for the community to jointly build this standard. Shurenyun has built a lightweight PaaS platform based on container technology - Shurenyun DM/OS operating system, the core scheduler of which is based on the company's self-developed component Swan. As a member of OCI, Shurenyun is very happy to share its research results and practical experience in the field of containers with the industry, and to promote and formulate relevant standards with leading companies in the industry, and promote the implementation and practice of containers and related technologies .
