Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am using "Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes" as a continuous deployment tool for my Edge clusters. It is used to deploy and manage the various instances of OpenShift, which are part of our Cloud RAN system. The Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes is only deployed on the Management Cluster and not on any of the workload instances of OpenShift.

Pros

Continuous deployment of other OpenShift instances.
Controls clusters and applications from a single console.
Built-in Security & compliance.

Cons

Initial deployment of the ACM itself needs to be made easy.
Dependency on the Software versions of underlying open shift workloads during upgrades.
LCM of ACM itself.

Return on Investment

Reduced the deployment duration of individual nodes by 50%.
Acts as a central manager for all the clusters.
Provides a lot of infrastructure options (storage, networking, etc) to build instances of your choice.
