Configure

Shape the cluster before it becomes expensive to change.

Use this section after installation and before broad rollout to set the OpenBaoCluster profile, bootstrap model, exposure pattern, storage, and observability defaults you intend to keep operating.

Open cluster overviewReview security profiles

A good configuration baseline should leave you with

• the right security profile for the environment
• bootstrap and server settings you can explain and repeat
• storage, network, and external access choices that match the service boundary
• observability and recovery dependencies wired before day 2 pressure starts

   Read this first

   Start with the OpenBaoCluster contract so the rest of the section reads like cluster shaping rather than field-by-field trivia.

   Cluster baseline

   Choose the security profile, bootstrap model, and server defaults you want to keep operating long term.

3. 03

   Unseal and trust

   Choose the unseal root of trust and use the exact Secret and mounted-file contract the operator validates.

   Open
4. 04

   Service boundary

   Define how traffic reaches the service, how the network is constrained, and which edge integration owns the exposed path.

5. 05

   Platform readiness

   Set storage, observability, and environment-specific constraints such as private registries before the cluster becomes expensive to move.
