   • Pull Secret: a Kubernetes secret that stores authentication information required to pull container images from container registries. It contains the necessary credentials, such as username, password, or token, and the registry URL for accessing container images.
   • Storage Class: a resource that defines how dynamic provisioning of storage volumes should work in the cluster. It specifies parameters such as the storage backend, access modes, and other characteristics of the storage to be provisioned.
   • Base Domain: the root domain that serves as the foundation for creating route hostnames within your OpenShift cluster. Routes are used to expose applications running in OpenShift to the external world.
