  IBM Multicloud Manager is used to manage OpenShift deployments across multicloud 
  platforms. 
  
  **8.1.1 IBM Multicloud Manager overview**
  
  There are many challenges that you will be faced with when trying to manage workloads 
  across multiple cloud environments as you modernized your environment and adopted a 
  hybrid and multicloud approach. You are looking at an enterprise out approach where you will 
  take your on-premises environment that can be an private cloud and scale-out to a public 
  cloud. You also might be looking at the cloud-in approach where you have a workload in a 
  public cloud environment and want to connect it back to a datacenter. 
  
  Both of these approaches can be characterized as both hybrid and multicloud. 
  
  Whichever approach you take, the challenges remain the same: 
  
  (cid:2) How can you develop modern cloud-native applications and integrate into your existing 
  environments? 
  
  (cid:2) How can you monitor data movement and comply with appropriate governance 
  regulations? 
  
  (cid:2) How can service management, security and compliance be maintained and monitored? 
  
  IBM Multicloud Manager is designed facilitate the journey to cloud. Helping organizations 
  orchestrate, manage, and monitor their containerized workloads across multiple data centers 
  and public or private clouds allows your services to be managed as though they were a single 
  unified environment.
