# OpenShift
Deploy and manage applications on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Deploying applications to OpenShift clusters
- Using OpenShift-specific features (Routes, BuildConfigs)
- Managing projects and RBAC in OpenShift
- Implementing S2I (Source-to-Image) builds
- Working with OpenShift Operators
Prerequisites
- OpenShift cluster access
- oc CLI installed
- Basic Kubernetes knowledge
CLI Basics
Authentication
# Login to cluster
oc login https://api.cluster.example.com:6443 -u admin -p password
# Login with token
oc login --token=sha256~xxxx --server=https://api.cluster.example.com:6443
# Check current context
oc whoami
oc whoami --show-server
oc whoami --show-context
# Logout
oc logoutProject Management
# Create project (namespace)
oc new-project myapp --display-name="My App" --description="My Application"
# Switch project
oc project myapp
# List projects
oc projects
# Delete project
oc delete project myappDeploying Applications
From Image
# Deploy from container image
oc new-app --image=nginx:latest --name=webserver
# Deploy from Docker Hub
oc new-app docker.io/library/nginx:latest
# Deploy with environment variables
oc new-app myimage:latest \
-e DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost/db \
-e APP_ENV=productionFrom Source (S2I)
# Deploy from Git repository
oc new-app https://github.com/org/myapp.git
# Specify builder image
oc new-app nodejs:18~https://github.com/org/nodejs-app.git
# With context directory
oc new-app https://github.com/org/monorepo.git \
--context-dir=backend \
--name=backend-apiFrom Template
# List available templates
oc get templates -n openshift
# Deploy from template
oc new-app postgresql-persistent \
-p POSTGRESQL_USER=user \
-p POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=secret \
-p POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=mydbRoutes
