Check deployment Status

The OpenShift web console provides valuable information about the status of everything running in the OpenShift cluster. In the next section, learn how to access some of the information about the NGINX container image you just deployed.

  1. Return to the OpenShift web console tab/window of your web browser and select Topology from the left-hand taskbar.
  2. Click the center of the deployment icon to display the deployment side bar containing the deployment details.

  1. If not already selected, click the Resources tab in the deployment sidebar.

Record this!

Record the Service port and Pod Port numbers displayed under the Resources tab.

  1. From the displayed list of Pods, note how many containers have the Running status. You should see only one at this time.

OpenShift leverages the Kubernetes concept of a pod, which is one or more containers deployed together on one host, and is the smallest compute unit that can be defined, deployed, and managed.
