Useful Notes for September and October 2023

Hi everyone, I’ve been heads down working on Multiarchitecture Compute and the Power platform for IBM.

How to add /etc/hosts file entries in OpenShift containers

You can add host aliases into the Pod Definition which is handy if the code is hard coded with a DNS entry.

      hostAliases:
      - ip: "127.0.0.1"
        hostnames:
        - "home"
     - ip: "10.1.x.x"
        hostnames:
        - "remote-host"
