A complete cluster manager for Kubernetes.
Rating: 10 out of 10
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for - Large-scale Edge deployments of OpenShift instances. Policy-based consistency for all workloads is Less appropriate for - Small-scale deployments. Stand-alone deployments of K8s clusters. Deployments in the same data center.
