You can access the description of IBM Multicloud Manager APIs. For more information, see IBM Multicloud Manager APIs.
After you set up IBM Multicloud Manager, you can query information about all the clusters that are connected to the system. By using cluster labels, you can organize your clusters according to different cloud providers, geographic regions, data centers, and the functional purpose of individual clusters. From the console, you can view the health status of pods, nodes, persistent volumes, and applications that run in those clusters.
IBM Multicloud Manager provides a way to perform parallel queries against multiple clusters and aggregate that information by various criteria. Information is augmented by near real-time pod traffic views by using Weave Scope, which enables an understanding of how pods inter-communicate.
Using IBM Multicloud Manager, you have rich views of how clusters operate within the environment. You can see dashboards of aggregated information across multiple clusters, view the topology of resources within those clusters, or navigate into individual clusters consoles for more detailed views.
See the following examples of IBM Multicloud Manager usage:
With IBM Multicloud Manager, you can deploy application resources on multiple clusters. IBM Multicloud Manager supports Helm charts as the deployment model by extending the Catalog to target multiple clusters for deployment. This complements any existing CI/CD pipelines by allowing operators the ability to deploy application charts that can be created in more than one cluster.
IBM Multicloud Manager also allows you to define application templates that combine deployable workloads. This allows you to manage all components of an application as a single unit. Channels, subscriptions, and placement rules define where the application components are deployed and how many replicas there should be.
See Managing applications for more application topics.
IBM Multicloud Manager enables you to check whether your clusters are operating properly by comparing the current configuration of various resources against your desired state. The system enables you to create policy document templates that can check policies against roles, or pod objects within the clusters.
