IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management is a hybrid cloud management solution. It is deployed using a simple single operator-based install with a total of 22 operators available for deployment in both Helm and Go. Logging in to the main console, you’ll see in the menu, there’s a diverse array of capabilities in the Cloud Pak. Opening the Observe Environments tab, select overview. This display gives a good point of view on how the Cloud Pak looks at the environment from a hybrid approach. You can see the variety of cloud providers – Amazon with their VM capabilities, VMware, Google – are all part of this demo environment as cloud providers types. You can see a breakdown of resources: compute resources: cloud VMs, infrastructure VMs, Kubernetes nodes by cloud provider. And finally, Applications – looking at applications from an application centric point of view of how they’re broken down, whether they are hybrid or VM based. And for this specific environment we have a grouping of hybrid applications. As you scroll down, the setup is similar to the top of the screen where we’re grouping by applications and infrastructure, and notably, the compliance component. Let’s take a look at a live application in production - it’s the ticketing app for “Acme Railways”. This will show an application topology point of view. This is the application topology view of the Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management. As you can see it takes the application at the top level and breaks it down to the component pieces, clusters, and all the way down to the Kubernetes pods for each individual application. At one quick glance, you can get an overview of this application as it runs in your environment. On that note, we can look at the specific monitoring capabilities for applications. Going back to the menu, we select Monitor Health, then App Monitoring. Ultimately, what we want to demonstrate here, is we take the notion of the hybrid application, we apply it, and the application we just talked about, the ticketing application, is here. The key takeaway here is that multicloud manager is constantly running synthetics against these applications in the background and you can receive synthetic test results for these applications in real time. The last thing we want to show is governance, risk, and compliance. If we pull up the Governance risk tab and you can see we’re loading some of the policies here. From this console, you can get an overview of the environment and the type of policies that are applied to the applications from the Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management. With a quick glance you can view all the policies, the number that are active, policy violations, resource violations, and the violations across the servers and policy standards. Next, let’s show how quickly a new policy can be created. Simply click new policy, create policy. This is the create policy console. There’s a name, namespace, specifications, standards, and in just a few clicks you can place this, select a pre-certificate standard, hit create and you’ve created a new policy as code. In summary, Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management is the complete hybrid cloud management solution, you can think of Cloud Pak for Multicloud Manager as a Swiss army knife of different capabilities, everything you need to manage a hybrid multi-cloud environment and ensure application performance.
