Chapter 4. Adding Applications to a Project

Now that you know how to access your OpenShift cluster and can log in, you are almost ready to start deploying your first application.

Applications can be deployed from an existing container image that you have built outside the OpenShift cluster, or one that is supplied by a third party.

Or, if you have the source code for the application, you can have OpenShift build the image for you. OpenShift can build an image from instructions provided by a Dockerfile, or the source code can be run through a Source-to-Image (S2I) builder to produce the container image.

OpenShift also includes ready-to-run container images for popular database products such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis.

Before you can deploy any application, though, you first need to create a project in the OpenShift cluster to contain your applications.

In this chapter you will learn what projects are used for and how to create them. You will be provided with a quick tour of how you can find out what ready-to-run container images OpenShift provides, what languages are supported through the S2I builders, and the methods for deploying an application from an image or a set of resource definitions.
