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
- Use projects for namespace isolation
- Prefer oc to kubectl for OpenShift-specific features
- Use Operators for complex application management
- Enable NetworkPolicies for pod isolation
Output Format
