Step 1: Install the different CLI needed

It includes bluemix, cf, and kubernetes. A script exists in the scripts folder to automate the CLI installation: ./scripts/install_cli.sh

Step 2: Connect to IBM Cloud via CLI

  • For US South region the API is 
    cf login -a https://api.ng.bluemix.net
    Enter userid, password, organization and space. You are ready to push your application.

Step 3: Push the app using CF

To push the application as defined in the Manifest. The only application to push is the web app. 

cd refarch-caseinc-app

  name: refarch-caseinc-app
  host: caseincapp
  instances: 1
  domain: mybluemix.net
