OpenShift CLI
OpenShift CLI (oc) is a command-line interface tool for interacting with Red Hat OpenShift, a Kubernetes-based container platform. It allows developers and administrators to manage applications, deployments, clusters, and resources directly from the terminal, providing a streamlined way to perform operations like deploying containers, scaling applications, and troubleshooting. The tool is essential for automating workflows and integrating OpenShift into CI/CD pipelines.
Developers should learn OpenShift CLI when working with OpenShift or Kubernetes-based platforms, as it enables efficient management of containerized applications and infrastructure. It is particularly useful for DevOps teams automating deployments, monitoring cluster health, and performing administrative tasks in cloud-native environments. Use cases include deploying microservices, managing secrets and configurations, and debugging applications in production.
