# <a name="openContainerInitiativeRuntimeSpecification" />Open Container Initiative Runtime Specification
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [Open Container Initiative][oci] develops specifications for standards on Operating System process and application containers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# <a name="ociRuntimeSpecAbstract" />Abstract
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The OCI Runtime Specification aims to specify the configuration, execution environment, and lifecycle a container.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A container's configuration is specified as the `config.json` for the supported platforms and details the fields that enable the creation of a container.
|
||
|
|
The execution environment is specified to ensure that applications running inside a container have a consistent environment between runtimes along with common actions defined for the container's lifecycle.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# <a name="ociRuntimeSpecPlatforms" />Platforms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Platforms defined by this specification are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `linux`: [runtime.md](runtime.md), [config.md](config.md), [config-linux.md](config-linux.md), and [runtime-linux.md](runtime-linux.md).
|
||
|
|
* `solaris`: [runtime.md](runtime.md), [config.md](config.md), and [config-solaris.md](config-solaris.md).
|
||
|
|
* `windows`: [runtime.md](runtime.md), [config.md](config.md), and [config-windows.md](config-windows.md).

# <a name="ociRuntimeSpecNotationalConventions" />Notational Conventions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119][rfc2119].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The key words "unspecified", "undefined", and "implementation-defined" are to be interpreted as described in the [rationale for the C99 standard][c99-unspecified].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An implementation is not compliant for a given CPU architecture if it fails to satisfy one or more of the MUST, REQUIRED, or SHALL requirements for the [platforms](#platforms) it implements.
|
||
|
|
An implementation is compliant for a given CPU architecture if it satisfies all the MUST, REQUIRED, and SHALL requirements for the [platforms](#platforms) it implements.
