1.2.2. Management operations

The following list of tasks provides an overview of how an administrator can manage pods in an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

Control scheduling of pods using the advanced scheduling features available in OpenShift Container Platform:
- Node-to-pod binding rules such as pod affinity, node affinity, and anti-affinity.
- Node labels and selectors.
- Taints and tolerations.
- Pod topology spread constraints.
- Secondary scheduling.
Configure the descheduler to evict pods based on specific strategies so that the scheduler reschedules the pods to more appropriate nodes.
Configure how pods behave after a restart using pod controllers and restart policies.
Limit both egress and ingress traffic on a pod.
Add and remove volumes to and from any object that has a pod template. A volume is a mounted file system available to all the containers in a pod. Container storage is ephemeral; you can use volumes to persist container data.
