Overview

Ensuring the consistency of configuration and security policies is challenging and is important to O&M efficiency. To solve this problem, UCS provides the policy center function implemented by the Gatekeeper based on the Open Policy Agent (OPA). This function helps you define and execute consistent policies in multiple clusters and unify the compliance status of resources.

You can create, manage, and monitor the implementation of policies across multiple clusters (fleets). In this way, you can ensure that all clusters comply with the same security and compliance requirements, thereby improving O&M efficiency. This centralized policy management makes it easier for you to cope with complex enterprise environments while ensuring that all resources are in compliance at any time, achieving higher O&M efficiency and stronger security.

The UCS Policy Center boasts the following advantages:

• Consistent policy management

  A set of security compliance policies are applied to multiple container fleets and clusters in a centralized and consistent manner.

• Assured resource security

  Resources are continuously audited to ensure that they meet security compliance requirements and do not violate policies.

• Global resource compliance view

  The global resource compliance overview helps protect and manage cluster resources.
