Deploying a Multi-Container Application Using an Image in OpenShift 4

Welcome to the lab! Here’s the scenario, you are the OpenShift admin working at the ZLand BioTech firm where you are in charge of supporting the developers in creating an early screening software that is going to revolutionize the industry for tracking symptoms of the dreaded Virus Z-19. This software is vital to the early warning system and tracking of the virus. Your job is to assist the developers in managing and creating the applications that make up the screening and tracking software. Columbus has a different idea of how the application should function and is implementing his version in Ruby. Tallahassee is asking you to deploy a multi-container application with both Ruby and MySQL running in the same container for a more efficient app. So off to the races, let's begin! >**Note:** This lab is meant to be run on your local environment. This will not work in our current Cloud Playground or Lab environment.
