Overview

User may interact with OpenShift by sending REST API invocations into an OpenShift master. Project-related queries and administrative commands may be sent with oc. Special administrative commands related to core OpenShift services, may be sent with oadm.

Configuration

The tool configuration is maintained in user's ~/<user>/.kube/config.

State

Both oc and oadm maintain state on the client host, under ~/<user>/.kube/<cluster-identifier> directories, and configuration in ~/<user>/.kube/config. Example:

~ovidiu/.kube/master.openshift.novaordis.io_443

Context

The context of an invocation consists in a project (namespace) name, an OpenShift cluster name, and the name of the OpenShift user. A list of known contexts, and the current context are maintained in user's .kube/config:

[...]
contexts:
- context:
    cluster: master-openshift-novaordis-io:443
    namespace: default
    user: system:admin/master-openshift-novaordis-io:443
  name: default/master-openshift-novaordis-io:443/system:admin
- context:
    cluster: master-openshift-novaordis-io:443
    namespace: playground
    user: system:admin/master-openshift-novaordis-io:443
  name: playground/master-openshift-novaordis-io:443/system:admin
current-context: default/master-openshift-novaordis-io:443/system:admin
[...]

Namespace Selection

By default, oc selects objects from the current project, which is the project oc commands apply to, without to explicitly having to use the -n <project-name> qualifier. The current project is part of the CLI tool's current context, maintained in user's .kube/config. To switch to a different current project, use:

oc project <new-current-project>

for both oc and oadm.
