Open Sourcing the Open Cluster Management Project and the Lessons We Can Learn for AI
summary
A proprietary IBM Multi‑Cluster Manager is rebuilt as an upstream project and productized as Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, with core components refactored to run on any Kubernetes and integrations into Argo, OPA, Hive and a clusterlet agent. The project is published at open-cluster-management.io, the managed cluster API gains adoption, and OCM is donated to CNCF as a sandbox in 2022. Timeline: IBM 2017→acquisition 2019→productized 2020→CNCF 2022; it works and spawns a neutral community.
