A little over four years ago Red Hat and IBM began the process of open-sourcing the Open Cluster Management Project. Today, the technology is productised and 100% open source. This is the story of that journey. We will take you through the history of the project and how it began as an internal solution at IBM built to solve a specific set of problems and then, through the power of collaboration between the community, IBM, and Red Hat, is now a widely used, fully open solution improving the management of Kubernetes clusters in hybrid environments. This is not the story of one product or one project, but rather a reminder of the power, and success, of being open for all. As we stand at the beginning of this new era of AI, we offer this story as a blueprint for open-sourcing AI and everything it entails. The future remains open and this is how we do it!
