Chapter 2. Preparing Resources
2.1. Projects
2.1.1. Description of Resource
Projects are the unit of isolation and collaboration in OpenShift. A project has one or more members, a quota on the resources that the project may consume, and the security controls on the resources in the project. Within a project, members may have different roles - project administrators can set membership, editors can create and manage the resources, and viewers can see but not access running containers. In typical clusters, cluster administrators, rather than project administrators, can alter project quotas.
Listing or watching projects will return only projects the user has the reader role on.
An OpenShift project is an alternative representation of a Kubernetes namespace. Projects are exposed as editable to end users while namespaces are not. Direct creation of a project is typically restricted to administrators, while end users should use the ProjectRequest resource.
2.1.2. Creating a New Project as Administrator

rolebindingssubresource of the namespace.
The GET request returns the PolicyBindingList, listing all the RoleBinding configurations in the namespace.

Response Body Snippet
If the intended role is not listed, send a POST request to create the RoleBinding configuration. Include the service account as a subject for the role, and the system:serviceaccount:{$PROJECT}:{$SERVICEACCOUNT} user name that distinguishes the service account.
If the role is listed, as in the response in the example above, update the returned RoleBinding configuration with the subject and userName of the service account being added to the role and send it as a PUT request to the role name in the rolebindings subresource of the namespace.

2.5.6. Adding a Persistent Volume Claim to an Object
Persistent volume claims can be added to objects that have a pod template: deploymentconfigs, replication controllers, and pods. However, you can not change a pod’s volumes once it has been created.
If you alter a volume setting on a deployment config, a deployment will be triggered. Changing a replication controller will not affect running pods.
Adding a persistent volume claim to an object configuration requires two requests:
-
A GET request to the object name in the
{$OBJECT}subresource of the namespace. -
A PATCH request with updated field values to the object name in the
{$OBJECT}subresource of the namespace.
The GET request is optional as the PATCH request body is not determined by the returned configuration, however it can be useful for preparing the PATCH request body.
The syntax for the PATCH request is the same for both deploymentconfig and replicationcontroller objects.
2.5.6.1. PATCH Request to Add Persistent Volume Claim
PATCH requests require JSON formatting.
The following PATCH request example adds a persistent volume claim {$CLAIM}, which is bound to persistent volume {$VOLUME), to deploymentconfig {$DEPLOYMENTCONFIG}. The same PATCH can be applied to a replicationcontroller object with modified target:

Request Body
2.5.7. Removing a Persistent Volume Claim from an Object
If you alter a volume setting on a deployment config, a deployment will be triggered. Changing a replication controller will not affect running pods.
Removing a persistent volume claim from an object configuration requires two requests:
-
A GET request to the object name in the
{$OBJECT}subresource of the namespace. -
A PATCH request with a
delete$patchtype to the object name in the{$OBJECT}subresource of the namespace.
The GET request is optional as the PATCH request body is not determined by the returned configuration, however it can be useful for preparing the PATCH request body.
The syntax for the PATCH request is the same for both deploymentconfig and replicationcontroller objects.
2.5.7.1. PATCH Request to Add Persistent Volume Claim
PATCH requests require JSON formatting.
The following PATCH request example adds a persistent volume claim {$CLAIM}, which is bound to persistent volume {$VOLUME), to deploymentconfig {$DEPLOYMENTCONFIG}. The same PATCH can be applied to a replicationcontroller object with modified target:
