Oc CLI

When to Use

• Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) operations
• OpenShift-specific resource management
• Operator lifecycle management
• Route and build configurations

Prerequisites

• OpenShift CLI (oc) installed
• Authenticated to ARO cluster
• Appropriate RBAC permissions

Commands

Authentication

# Login with token
oc login --token=<token> --server=<api-server>

# Login with kubeadmin
oc login -u kubeadmin -p <password> --server=<api-server>

# Current context
oc whoami --show-server

Project Operations

# List projects
oc projects

# Switch project
oc project <project-name>

# Create project
oc new-project <project-name>

Operator Management

# List installed operators
oc get csv -n openshift-operators

# View operator status
oc describe csv <operator-name> -n openshift-operators

Route Management

# List routes
oc get routes -A

# Create route
oc expose service <service-name>

# Get route URL
oc get route <route-name> -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}'

Best Practices

1. Use projects for namespace isolation
2. Prefer oc to kubectl for OpenShift-specific features
3. Use Operators for complex application management
4. Enable NetworkPolicies for pod isolation

Output Format
