Containers are the fundamental infrastructure to deploy modern cloud applications. Oracle delivers the tools to create and provision Open Container Initiative (OCI)-compliant containers using CRI-O.

CRI-O, an implementation of the Kubernetes CRI (Container Runtime Interface) to enable using Open Container Initiative compatible runtimes, is included with Oracle CNE. CRI-O can run either runC or Kata Containers containers directly from Kubernetes, without any unnecessary code or tooling.
