odo is a CLI tool for developers who are writing, building, and deploying
applications on OpenShift. With odo, developers get an opinionated CLI tool
that supports fast, iterative development. odo abstracts away Kubernetes and
OpenShift concepts so developers can focus on what's most important to them:
code.
odo was created to improve the developer experience with OpenShift. Existing
tools such as oc and kubectl are more operations-focused and require a
deep understanding of Kubernetes and OpenShift concepts. odo is designed to
be simple and concise so you can focus on coding rather than how to deploy
your application. Since odo can build and deploy your code to your cluster
immediately after you save your changes, you benefit from instant feedback and
can validate your changes in real-time. odo's syntax and design is centered
around concepts already familiar to developers, such as project, application,
and component.
This video demonstrates how to deploy applications using odo.
Within RHPDS, the catalog item is in the Workshops category and is called OCP4 Workshop Development with ODO.
Details on the workshop content as well as full instructions on how to deploy and run the workshop once the cluster is available are here.
