Creating an Openshift Application from an Image

For this lab, we will be creating a new OpenShift application from an image. The new application will be running a MySQL database. Upon completion, you will have a working understanding of how to create a new project and application from an image within Red Hat OpenShift. *This lab is not approved or sponsored by Red Hat.* Due to limitations in the A Cloud Guru Cloud Playground environment, we are unable to provide a hands-on experience for this lab. 1. To complete this lab, you must first register for a Red Hat Developer login on the ***[Red Hat login page](https://developers.redhat.com/login)***. 2. Once registered, you may complete the lab steps using one of the following methods: * Download ***[Red Hat's CodeReady Containers](https://cloud.redhat.com/openshift/install/crc/installer-provisioned)*** and install them locally on your own system. * Log in to your Red Hat Developer account and use a ***[Red Hat-provided OpenShift sandbox](https://developers.redhat.com/products/codeready-containers/overview)***.
