Postinstallation configuration overview

After installing OpenShift Container Platform, a cluster administrator can configure and customize the following components:

  • Machine

  • Bare metal

  • Cluster

  • Node

  • Network

  • Storage

  • Users

  • Alerts and notifications

Post-installation configuration tasks

You can perform the post-installation configuration tasks to configure your environment to meet your need.

The following lists details these configurations:

  • Configure operating system features: The Machine Config Operator (MCO) manages MachineConfig objects. By using the MCO, you can configure nodes and custom resources.

  • Configure bare metal nodes: You can use the Bare Metal Operator (BMO) to manage bare metal hosts. The BMO can complete the following operations:

    • Inspects hardware details of the host and report them to the bare metal host.

    • Inspect firmware and configure BIOS settings.

    • Provision hosts with a desired image.

    • Clean disk contents for the host before or after provisioning the host.

  • Configure cluster features. You can modify the following features of an OpenShift Container Platform cluster:

    • Image registry

    • Networking configuration

    • Image build behavior

    • Identity provider

    • The etcd configuration

    • Machine set creation to handle the workloads

    • Cloud provider credential management

  • Configuring a private cluster: By default, the installation program provisions OpenShift Container Platform by using a publicly accessible DNS and endpoints. To make your cluster accessible only from within an internal network, configure the following components to make them private:

    • DNS

    • Ingress Controller

    • API server

  • Perform node operations: By default, OpenShift Container Platform uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) compute machines. You can perform the following node operations:

    • Add and remove compute machines.

    • Add and remove taints and tolerations.

    • Configure the maximum number of pods per node.

    • Enable Device Manager.

  • Configure users: OAuth access tokens allow users to authenticate themselves to the API. You can configure OAuth to perform the following tasks:

  • Specify an identity provider

  • Use role-based access control to define and supply permissions to users

  • Install an Operator from OperatorHub

  • Configuring alert notifications: By default, firing alerts are displayed on the Alerting UI of the web console. You can also configure OpenShift Container Platform to send alert notifications to external systems.
