    Access your application via route 'my-nginx-example-my-nginx-example.apps.ocp.hpecloud.org'
    Build scheduled, use 'oc logs -f bc/my-nginx-example' to track its progress.
    Run 'oc status' to view your app.

The output shows that a service and route have been created for the application, and tells you to use the oc status command to check your application:

$ oc status
In project my-nginx-example on server https://api.ocp.hpecloud.org:6443

The details of the service can be obtained using the oc get svc command:

$ oc get svc my-nginx-example
NAME               TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)    AGE
my-nginx-example   ClusterIP   172.30.155.90   <none>        8080/TCP   3m26s

The route created for the example application uses the application name my-nginx-example, the cluster name ocp and the domain name hpecloud.org.

$ oc get route my-nginx-example

NAME               HOST/PORT                                                 PATH   SERVICES           PORT    
my-nginx-example   my-nginx-example-my-nginx-example.apps.ocp.hpecloud.org          my-nginx-example   <all>
