Authors:   Joshua Packer


Summary

Open Cluster Management simplifies multicluster container orchestration by providing a vendor-neutral solution for managing Kubernetes clusters.
  • Open Cluster Management is a CNCF Sandbox project that enables users to manage multiple Kubernetes clusters
  • It works with almost any CNCF compliant distribution and is vendor-neutral
  • The project provides inventory of clusters, distribution of work, policy configuration, and application add-ons
  • The hub-spoke architecture of Open Cluster Management allows for centralized management of a fleet of clusters
  • The manage cluster kind is a representation of the fleet that can be queried against in Kubernetes
Open Cluster Management allows users to manage their sprawling infrastructure by providing a centralized solution for managing multiple Kubernetes clusters. With the hub-spoke architecture, users can easily manage their fleet of clusters and apply policies and workloads across all clusters. The manage cluster kind provides a clear representation of the fleet that can be queried against in Kubernetes. This simplifies the management of Kubernetes clusters and allows users to take control of their infrastructure.

Abstract

Now that many people are deploying Kubernetes in production, they all have the same question: how do you manage multiple Kubernetes clusters? In this session, we’ll chat about the new CNCF Sandbox project Open Cluster Management (https://open-cluster-management.io) and how it can help you simplify multicluster container orchestration. Open APIs are evolving within the project for cluster registration, work distribution, dynamic placement of policies and workloads, and much more. Attendees will learn how they can use Open Cluster Management to take control of their sprawling infrastructure.
