FreeBSD OCI Containers: State of The Union
2024-11-09 , Pandora

A Historical and Technical Overview of (OCI) Containers in general and how and why supporting OCI Containers on FreeBSD is important for both FreeBSD and Containers ecosystem as a whole.


I will walk the audience through a Historical Overview journey of how Containers evolved from the perspective of an outsider from *BSD/FreeBSD community as this puts emphasis on the importance of OCI Containers support on FreeBSD.

Then I will walk the audience into a (brief) Technical Overview of what (OCI) Containers are and the current status of support on FreeBSD.

Then I will conclude with areas of help where, hopefully, interested audience can jump in and help getting this support even further completed.

In general I hope with this (short) talk to spread the word more and get more people interested in using, testing and developing OCI Containers on *BSD/FreeBSD.
