summary
SIG-Multicluster defines four usable APIs—About API, ClusterProfile API, Work API—plus a Multicluster Services pattern (service export/import) that OCM-io and KubeFleet implement in production. OCM uses manifestWork and a placement object to push a deployment to one cluster then to two, updates propagate via agent hashes, and placement can target N clusters; KubeFleet demos property-based scheduling across nine joined clusters, selects three, and exposes a DNS load‑balanced endpoint via service export. Agents authenticate spokes to the hub; drift detection and richer placement logic are planned.
