The Open Cluster Management project consists of several multi cluster components, which are used to access and manage your clusters. It was started to bring together the various aspects of managing Kubernetes clusters into an integrated solution comprised of loosely coupled building blocks

 Punctuality
Join the session 5 minutes prior to the session start time. We start on
time and conclude on time!

4.  OpenCluster Management is a community-driven project focused on multicluster and multicloud scenarios for
Kubernetes apps. Open APIs are evolving within this project for cluster registration, work
distribution, dynamic placement of policies and workloads, and much more.
 It offers a range of features to help teams troubleshoot issues, optimize performance, and manage
resources.
 Use application lifecycle to create your application and deliver hybrid apps across one or more clusters,
while you keep up with changes.
 Policy and configuration management uses labels to help you deploy policies and control consistently
across your resources. Keep your resources secure by using access control and manage for your quota and
cost.s.

5. Why we need OCM?
Open Cluster Management has a way to help you create an
extension based on the foundation components so you
can work with multiple clusters in different ways.
Some examples of add-ons include A tool to collect alert
events in the managed cluster and send them to the hub
cluster

6. Main Component of OCM
HUB CLUSTER
The hub cluster is the common term that is
used to define the central controller that runs on
a Kubernetes cluster. The hub cluster
aggregates information from multiple clusters by
using an asynchronous work request model.
MANAGED CLUSTER
The managed cluster provides a representation
of the managed cluster on the hub
cluster. The Managed Cluster resource
controls whether the remote cluster is accepted by
the hub cluster for management. After the
managed cluster is accepted, it can retrieve
information from the hub cluster to direct a set of
manifests or actions to apply.

7. Use-case of OCM
Import Kubernetes Cluster
You can easily import existing Kubernetes
Cluster from the major cloud provider
Multi Cloud Management
OCM allows organizations to manage
multiple Kubernetes clusters across
different cloud providers and data centres
from a single console
Automated Cluster lifecycle Management
OCM can automate cluster lifecycle management task such
as rolling upgrades ,disasters recovery, and scaling
