Hi Alfredo,

you can install openshift-metrics, logging and prometheus afterwards
through the openshift-ansible playbooks. Metrics will show you a detailed
view in each project how much resources each pod is using, as well as some
historical data. Openshift-logging will install an EFK stack and deploy
fluentd pods on each host for log aggregation.

I think there should be also the possibility to install the kubernetes
dashboard, but I'm not sure.

Yes you can install glusterfs afterwards and it's pretty easy to do. There
are 2 ways to integrate glusterfs. Either with the openshift-ansible
playbooks or with the cns-deploy script. After installing it you also can
set glusterfs to automatically create new persisten volumes as soon as a
claim is created.

Best Regards,
Alexander
