These aren’t normal containers, they are “artifacts” which are just the manifest and a single layer and a mime type.

OCI artifacts are one of the most under hyped technologies. Almost everyone already has an image registry, now that registry supports basically any kind of package and with nice versioning semantics.

Why wouldn’t you use it? I don’t want to auth again into something else and deal with different registries for every language I have.

Definitely. OCI artifact repos are much closer to the Artifactories of yore (and today) than they are to "it's all docker".

Most major tech companies I've worked with have an internal OCI repo of some kind maintained; internal packages are available and external packages are cached (or blocklisted, in certain situations, which is its own flavor of helpful for security risks) and everything from Docker to Maven to Pip/Poetry/etc. Just Works.

The CUE configuration language uses OCI artifacts as the storage/distribution mechanism of its package manager
