Summary

In this chapter, we have explored various components of pod configuration and learned when to use what. We should now be able to create a pod and choose the right values of various fields in the pod configuration according to the needs of your application. This ability puts us in a position where we can use our strong understanding of this essential, basic building block and extend it to develop a full-fledged application that's deployed reliably.

In the next chapter, we will discuss how we can add labels and arbitrary metadata to pods and use them to identify or search for pods. That will help us to organize our pods as well as choose a subset of them when required.
