In OpenShift, you may map that setup to having a Pod with multiple containers, or you might want to have one DeploymentConfig and one Service per image, and you can reference services in the same namespace by name. In the first situation, you have the guarantee that the containers will be scheduled on the same node. The advantage of the second scheme is that you can easily scale your deployments, and each independently. It boils down to the relationship between your two images. If they are something like "mysql" + "phpMyAdmin", then the first option my suit you well. If you have two microservices that need to talk to each other, I'd recommend the second approach. > > The second question is that I can't start a container from the image (I'm > on OpenShift Origin 1.1 on Centos7) > > oc new-app ec2-xxx:5000/test/image1:1 > > > > > > > > > > > > *specify --allow-missing-images to use this image name.The 'new-app' > command will match arguments to the following types: 1.

That's because you might be running the oc client in a machine that has a Docker daemon and the given image, but that has no implication with the image existing in the OpenShift nodes where the image will be run. Specifying * --allow-missing-images *confirms that you will be responsible for ensure the image is available in the nodes, since it cannot be pulled from the internal registry nor DockerHub. You might want to look into importing your images to your internal registry as ImageStreams: https://docs.openshift.org/latest/architecture/infrastructure_components/image_registry.html -- Rodolfo Carvalho OpenShift Developer Experience
