@mgaruccio @anildash @simon yes. It was the standard that made it important, not the constituent technologies, which had been in Linux for quite awhile. I'm actually pretty annoyed that docker/OCI was the standard that took off, I think it could have been done a lot differently and better
@stephenjudkins @anildash @simon yea itโs frankly a little weird that underneath all the declarative and immutable tooling that got built on top we have this imperative image build process that gets captured in a tarball with networking and storage defined at runtime.
But, that also made it easy to start using, and flexible for many use-cases. Which really drove the adoption piece of the puzzle (and nature of FOSS meant features followed that adoption)
