In this first tutorial in the Kubernetes with OpenShift series, you learn how to install a local OpenShift environment on your machine using MiniShift. You also learn the basics on deploying and managing applications. This is the first in a series of hands-on workshops about using Kubernetes with Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud.
Minishift is a great way to try out OKD, the Origin Community Distribution of Kubernetes that powers Red Hat® OpenShift®. With Minishift, you can run OKD locally by launching a single-node OKD cluster inside a virtual machine. You can develop applications locally in a containerized OKD cluster.
This tutorial can help you understand Minishift, OKD, and Red Hat® OpenShift® on IBM Cloud™. Check out the link at the end of this page to see a set of exercises. When you complete the exercises, you will know how to do the following tasks:
- Install and set up Minishift.
- Create OpenShift projects.
- Create OpenShift applications.
- Manage OpenShift applications.
- Deploy an application to Minishift.
- Train the network.
