Containers have become fundamental to cloud native and much of its success was due to Docker providing a runtime along with an extensive set of utilities that enabled anyone to easily consume and run containers. OCI artifacts are a way to publish and store content within a container registry in addition to container images and the community is just beginning to see the potential opportunities.
ORAS is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) sandbox project that provides a set of utilities and libraries for interacting with OCI artifacts, and like Docker in the past, has enabled those interested with the tools for getting started and being productive.
In this session, attendees will become immersed in the world of OCI artifacts including how ORAS plays a key role in their adoption and use. By learning the fundamentals of OCI artifacts including their use cases, it will become clear why the ORAS project has become an essential tool when working with this technology and has become adopted by many Open Source projects including those in the security and AI/ML domains.
