Learn OpenShift

Building Application Images from Dockerfile

In the previous chapter, you learned what OpenShift templates are, along with the concepts of how to write your own templates and deploy applications from templates.

In this chapter, we are going to see how OpenShift simplifies Docker image life cycles by providing a Docker build strategy that automates application deployment from source code. This chapter is a hands-on lab that describes application delivery using the Docker Source-to-Image (S2I) strategy.

After completing this chapter, you will have learned how to build and deploy an application from Dockerfile.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

• Dockerfile development for OpenShift
• Building applications from Dockerfile
• Dockerfile ...
