About KubeOps Container Manager (CM)

What is KubeOps Container Manager (CM)?

KubeOps Container Manager, or in short “CM”, serves as a versatile utility designed specifically to efficiently manage both the configuration and status of a cluster.

With its capabilities, users can articulate their desired cluster state in detail, outlining configurations and specifications.

Subsequently, CM orchestrates the creation of a cluster that precisely matches the specified state, ensuring alignment between intentions and operational reality.

Why use KubeOps Container Manager?

In CM, configuration management involves defining, maintaining, and updating the desired state of a cluster, including configurations for nodes, pods, services, and other resources in the application environment.

The main goal of CM is to match the clusters actual state with the desired state specified in the configuration files. With a declarative model, CM enables administrators to express their desired system setup, focusing on „what“ they want rather than „how“ to achieve it.

This approach improves flexibility and automation in managing complex systems, making the management process smoother and allowing easy adjustment to changing needs.

CM uses YAML files to store configuration data in a human-readable format. These files document important metadata about the objects managed by CM, such as pods, services, and deployments.
