Technical requirements
To use the operator as described in this section, you will need to have the following tools installed:
- A Git client – https://git-scm.com
- A Kubernetes client (
kubectl
) – https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/#kubectl
In addition, you will need to have a Kubernetes cluster available. For the CLI parts of this chapter, you can use any Kubernetes distribution you prefer. But to try out the UI parts of this chapter, the Kubernetes distribution will need to be OpenShift Container Platform (OCP), since the screenshots are all from the OpenShift console. Ask your administrator how to give kubectl
access to your cluster, and for the URL of the console if using OCP.
