Chapter 2. Adding the Quarkus Openshift extension

You need to add the quarkus-openshift extension as a dependency to your Quarkus project so that you can build and deploy your applications as a container image to be used inside your OpenShift cluster.

The OpenShift extension also generates OpenShift resources such as: image streams, build configuration, deployment configuration, service definitions and more. If your Quarkus application includes the quarkus-smallrye-health extension OpenShift can access the health endpoint and check the liveness and readiness of your application.

  2. Use one of the following methods to add the quarkus-openshift extension to your project:

    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>

</dependency>
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    2. Add the quarkus-openshift extension using the command line:
