Pre-Requesites Lab 2

Overview

An IBM Cloud account is needed: http://cloud.ibm.com

We will use preconfigured OpenShift on IBM Cloud clusters in this hands-on workshop. See the previous page. You should have received information from your lab instructor to get access to one of these clusters.

1. Work Environment

In your browser, login to the IBM Cloud Dashboard

1. Make sure you select your own account in the account list, then click on the IBM Cloud Shell Icon

Note: Cloud Shell includes 500 MB of temporary storage. Your session closes after 30 minutes of inactivity. If you’re inactive in Cloud Shell for over an hour, your workspace data is removed. It’s also removed if you reach the 4-hour continuous usage or 30-hour weekly usage limits. To track your usage, go to Usage quota in the Cloud Shell menu (3 vertical dots in the upper right corner).

2. Get the code

In the IBM Cloud Shell execute the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/Harald-U/openshift43-on-ibm-cloud-workshop.git
$ cd workshop-openshift-on-ibm-cloud
$ ROOT_FOLDER=$(pwd)

3. Get Access to OpenShift on the IBM Cloud

a. Open the OpenShift console.

1. Go back to the IBM Cloud Dashboard (https://cloud.ibm.com).

2. Switch from your own account to the IBM account given to you by the instructor from the pulldown in the uper right corner.

3. Select OpenShift in the 'burger' menu

Chose Clusters and click on your OpenShift cluster

Open the OpenShift web console

b. Get the access token for the 'oc' CLI.
