Creating applications directly from Docker images

Another way to create an image stream is to use the new-app command to create an application from a ready-to-use Docker image:

# oc new-app gists/lighttpd--> Found Docker image cd7b707 (11 days old) from Docker Hub for "gists/lighttpd"    * An image stream will be created as "lighttpd:latest" that will track this image...<output omitted>...

Lighttpd is yet another web server, like Nginx or Apache. We used it in this example, because both Nginx and Apache image streams are supplied with OpenShift out-of-the-box.

This creates a number of resources, one of which is an image stream.

If you describe the newly created deployment config, you will see that it actually references the image stream, not ...
