Red Hat Official ☛ Using containers to bring software engineering rigor to AI workloads [Ed: 66% of Red Hat's blog posts are pushing slop, not Linux]
The Open Container Initiative defines open specifications for image formats, container runtimes, and distribution, helping organizations avoid vendor lock-in. OCI containers are an industry-standard format for packaging software applications, so they are able to run consistently across different environments, container engines (like Docker or Podman), and cloud platforms.

Red Hat ☛ Unlocking efficiency: A guide to operator cache configuration on Red Bait OpenShift and Kubernetes
The controller-runtime is the standard tool for building operators. Standing up an operator is easy, and going from zero to a deployable operator is extremely fast.

This issue shows up as an out of memory error (OOM), which causes the operator to be restarted. Operators deployed in cluster scope are most likely to be affected.
