Deploying existing images to OpenShift:
This is a quick lab that demonstrates how to deploy a public image from Docker Hub on OpenShift. As example image the 'authors' microservice from this workshop is used.
Open the OpenShift Console from the IBM Cloud OpenShift dashboard.
Create a new project 'workshop'.
Open the new project.
Click 'Add to Project', followed by 'Deploy Image' in the pop up menu and then 'Deploy Image' in the dialog.
Enter 'nheidloff/authors:v1' as the image name, click the search icon and then the 'Deploy' button.
Navigate back to the overview page.
Click 'Create Route'.
Click the 'Create' button (not shown in the screenshot).
Copy the URL and append '/openapi/ui'.
Open the Open API user interface to try the REST API.
You can deploy your image from the next Lab 3.
If you want you can make changes to the Java code and/or image and push these changes to your own Docker Hub account. In order to do this, you need a Docker Hub account and invoke these commands:
Congratulations! You finished Lab 2, and deployed an image from a public registry aviable from Docker Hub.
You can go to Lab 3 or start to use MiniShift on your platform as it is defined in the Next Steps.
