Microsoft and a bunch of its biggest competitors, including Google and Amazon, have joined forces for the Open Container Project, a nonprofit organization housed under the Linux Foundation — the governing body of the Linux open-source operating system, which Microsoft once considered its biggest competitor.
They'll work to make the superhot software container technology even better by settling on a standard.
"The creation of the Open Container Project is one of the most important technology industry moves this decade," says Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation.
Other companies on board include a who's who of tech giants — HP, IBM, Intel, Red Hat, and VMware — plus Goldman Sachs and several other companies.
This announcement was the biggest surprise to come out of DockerCon, this week's big Docker event. Docker basically invented the market for containers, and it recently took in a $95 million funding round at a rumored valuation of $1 billion.

Indeed, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, IBM, and other major tech companies have been tripping over themselves to support Docker containers.
A Google-backed startup called CoreOS, which once upon a time was one of Docker's biggest boosters, didn't like the way the Docker project was heading, especially when it came to security.
So CoreOS split off, and it went on to create "appc," an alternative to Docker that earned the support of Google, VMware, and Red Hat.
This resulted in the perception that vendors were taking sides in a container war between Docker and CoreOS. Google even had to put out an official blog entry clarifying that it planned to support all major container formats.
