Usage of oc and kubectl commands

The oc binary offers the same capabilities as the kubectl binary, but it extends to natively support additional OKD features, including:

• Full support for OKD resources

• The additional command , for example, makes it easier to get new applications started using existing source code or pre-built images. Similarly, the additional command oc new-project makes it easier to start a project that you can switch to as your default.

The kubectl binary

The kubectl binary is provided as a means to support existing workflows and scripts for new OKD users coming from a standard Kubernetes environment, or for those who prefer to use the kubectl CLI. Existing users of kubectl can continue to use the binary to interact with Kubernetes primitives, with no changes required to the OKD cluster.
