Docker made containers really popular. It was the OCI standards that made them portable. But running a single container is just the start. When you're working on a large scale, you also need orchestration, networking, storage — and it's best to have standards for all of these.
In this wrap-up of the Dockerless series we cover:
🔹 CRI – swap container managers in Kubernetes without having to change Kubernetes itself.
🔹 CNI is the standard for container networking – just plug and play!
🔹 CSI – making storage and orchestration platforms separate
🔹 Kata Containers are lightweight virtual machines that act like containers.
👉 The bigger picture: containers, VMs, networking, and storage are all coming together into one standardised, open ecosystem for building infrastructure.

Dockerless: Exploring Advanced Container Standards | mkdev
In the final chapter of the Dockerless series, we go beyond OCI basics to explore standards like CRI, CNI, CSI and projects such as Kata Containers—showing how networking, storage, and even lightweight VMs extend the container ecosystem for scalable infrastructure.
