The Open Managed Control Plane (openMCP) enables extensible Infrastructure- and Configuration-as-Data capabilities as a Service. Based on the Kubernetes Resource Model, all resources in the cloud-edge continuum with ApeiroRA are accessible and managed via a declarative API and corresponding controllers and operators. Together with the controller which understand OCM and declarative deployment orchestrators, consumers can subscribe to a product release-train of software producers and implement an automated, GitOps-driven deployment workflow at the edges.
