Policy-based management of hundreds of Kubernetes clusters
summary
A beta control plane called Tanzu Mission Control demonstrates centralized lifecycle and policy management for hundreds of clusters by provisioning AWS EC2 clusters in ~5–10 minutes, attaching existing EKS/OpenShift clusters, and grouping them with Cluster API and cluster groups to push policy inheritance (access, network, pod security, image registry, quotas) across fleets. It runs scheduled Sonobuoy cluster inspections, plans Velero backup/restore and Contour ingress support, exposes health metrics to Wavefront/CloudHealth, and models multi-cluster workspaces for cross-cluster namespaces.
