Understand what OCM is, why it exists, and how it supports software delivery across cloud boundaries, sovereign clouds, and air-gapped environments.

Getting Started

Understand the fundamental principles and architecture of the Open Component Model: components, credentials, signing, and transport.

Task-oriented guides organized by lifecycle phase: pack resources into components, sign them, transfer across registries, and deploy.

Browse reference documentation for the OCM CLI, Kubernetes controllers, configuration file, and component descriptor format.
