When the bootstrap node is done with its work and has handed off control to the new {product-title} cluster, the bootstrap node is destroyed. The installation program waits for the cluster to initialize, creates a route to the {product-title} console, and presents the information and credentials you require to log in to the cluster. Here’s an example:
INFO Install complete! INFO Run 'export KUBECONFIG=/home/joe/ocp/auth/kubeconfig' to manage the cluster with 'oc', the {product-title} CLI. INFO The cluster is ready when 'oc login -u kubeadmin -p 39RPg-y4c7V-n4bbn-vAF3M' succeeds (wait a few minutes). INFO Access the {product-title} web-console here: https://console-openshift-console.apps.mycluster.devel.example.com INFO Login to the console with user: kubeadmin, password: 39RPg-y4c7V-n4bbn-vAF3M
To access the {product-title} cluster from your web browser, log in as kubeadmin with the password (for example, 39RPg-y4c7V-n4bbn-vAF3M), using the URL shown:
To access the {product-title} cluster from the command line, identify the location of the credentials file (export the KUBECONFIG variable) and log in as kubeadmin with the provided password:
$ export KUBECONFIG=/home/joe/ocp/auth/kubeconfig $ oc login -u kubeadmin -p 39RPg-y4c7V-n4bbn-vAF3M
At this point, you can begin using the {product-title} cluster. To understand the management of your {product-title} cluster going forward, you should explore the {product-title} control plane.
