Creating and deleting projects in OpenShift

In OpenShift a project is essentially a Kubernetes namespace enriched with additional annotations and metadata.

To create a project - OpenShift will create and set the project as the current project:

oc new-project my-demo-project --description="My demonstration project" --display-name="Demo Project"

Verify:

oc project

To deploy an application in the current project:

oc new-app --name=my-app --image=openshift/hello-openshift

Verify:

oc get pods
oc get all
oc describe project my-demo-project

To delete the project:

oc delete project my-demo-project

OpenShift will delete the project and all its associated resources.

To verify if the project has been deleted run again:

oc projects

You can do the same operations in the GUI
