What's next?

Now, OpenShift is minimally functional, meaning that you have a control plane that can schedule pods, handle API calls and controllers, and an etcd cluster, which offers key/value storage for objects in the cluster. You also have some worker nodes fully functional that can already host some workloads.

But that's not all! Now, the activities that demand configuration begin (also known as Day 2, or post-installation activities). In the next few chapters, we will look at Ingress configurations, networks, registry configurations, views for local volumes, and persistent volumes.

We will also talk about taints and tolerations, security, and best practices – everything it takes for you to go from zero to hero and start acting on more complex implementations.
