Managing a multi-cluster Kubernetes deployment to meet enterprise standards for security and regulatory compliance requirements is a complex and time consuming process. Open Cluster Management (OCM) is a CNCF sandbox project aimed at simplifying and streamlining multi-cluster and multi-cloud management of Kubernetes environments of any size.

This talk is focused on how you can configure your multi-cluster Kubernetes environment using the OCM policy framework using GitOps. OCM’s policy framework can be integrated with multiple policy engines such as Gatekeeper/OPA and Kyverno. Its approach is to represent the desired configuration state using declarative policies which can be deployed using GitOps. Such an approach gives an organization control and visibility into the configuration and security of their Kubernetes clusters, and automates operational aspects.
