+# Omnicloud as a Service Pattern
+
+## About Omnicloud as a Service
+
+**Disclaimer: This pattern is currently in MVP status. Additional configuration/environments are required to effectively run this pattern.**
+
+### Background
+
+Modern application development demands agility, scalability, and consistent environments across diverse cloud platforms. Organizations increasingly turn to container orchestration solutions like OpenShift to standardize and streamline the deployment of cloud-native applications. Yet, setting up secure, fully integrated OpenShift environments remains a complex and time-consuming process, especially when working with different sovereign clouds or hyperscaler infrastructures.
+
+Teams often encounter significant challenges, including the complexity of provisioning OpenShift clusters, which requires multiple manual steps, cloud-specific configurations, and specialized infrastructure expertise. Integrating clusters with Identity Management systems and establishing secure user access is another critical, yet error-prone, task. Ensuring that every developer receives a standardized set of DevOps tools and workflows across environments is difficult to achieve manually, often leading to inconsistencies and delays.
+
+Additionally, new users frequently face obstacles when onboarding, as they struggle with inconsistent environments or missing resources, which slows down the development process and reduces productivity.
+To overcome these obstacles, organizations need an automated, self-service solution capable of provisioning OpenShift clusters, integrating them with essential tools and identity systems, and delivering isolated, ready-to-use development environments at scale.
+
+Omnicloud as a Service pattern was created to address these challenges by offering Omnicloud as a Service capabilities, empowering teams to deploy OpenShift workflows quickly, consistently, and securely across multiple cloud platforms, while minimizing manual effort and accelerating time to innovation.

+#### Key features of OCaaS includes
+
+- Automated OpenShift Deployment: On receiving a request, OCaas pattern deploys an OpenShift cluster on the selected cloud environment, abstracting away the complexities of infrastructure setup.
+- Integrated User Access and Permissions: OCaas automates integration with Identity Management (IDM) systems, creates dedicated user accounts, and configures permissions, ensuring secure, role-based access control.
+- DevOps Toolchain Bootstrapping: Once the OpenShift cluster is deployed, OCaas automatically provides a suite of essential DevOps tools, enabling teams to start building and deploying applications without delay.
+- Namespace Isolation for Developers: Each user receives a dedicated OpenShift namespace, providing an isolated, fully functional environment to develop, test, and validate cloud-native solutions.
