Resource group:    No resource group targeted, use 'ibmcloud target -g RESOURCE_GROUP'   
CF API endpoint:      
Org:                  
Space:                

Tip: If you are managing Cloud Foundry applications and services
- Use 'ibmcloud target --cf' to target Cloud Foundry org/space interactively, or use 'ibmcloud target --cf-api ENDPOINT -o ORG -s SPACE' to target the org/space.
- Use 'ibmcloud cf' if you want to run the Cloud Foundry CLI with current IBM Cloud CLI context.

Target the IKS-RG1 namespace:

ibmcloud target -g IKS-RG1

List the clusters and locate the cluster corresponding to the userId you used to login to the console-in-a-browser environment. For example, if you are user028, your cluster will be user028-cluster.

~$ ibmcloud ks clusters
Clusters at version 1.11 and later run containerd instead of Docker as the Kubernetes container runtime. For more information and update actions, see <https://ibm.biz/Bd22hF>

Configure your Kubernetes client using this command. This will also configure your Kubernetes client for future login sessions by adding the command into your .bash_profile. Note $USER automatically resolves to the user logged into the terminal environment.

~$ eval $(ibmcloud ks cluster-config --cluster $USER-cluster --export | tee -a ~/.bash_profile) 

You should be able to use kubectl to list kubernetes resources. Try getting the list of pods (there should be none yet)

~$ kubectl get pods
No resources found.

Verify that you have the appmod_sst namespace.

~$ ibmcloud cr namespaces
Listing namespaces...

Namespace   
appmod_sst

Login to the registry service

~$ ibmcloud cr login
Logging in to 'registry.ng.bluemix.net'...

IBM Cloud Container Registry is adopting new icr.io domain names to align with the rebranding of IBM Cloud for a better user experience. The existing bluemix.net domain names are deprecated, but you can continue to use them for the time being, as an unsupported date will be announced later. For more information about registry domain names, see https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/services/Registry?topic=registry-registry_overview#registry_regions_local

Verify you can list the images in the registry. You should see at least guestbook and mariadb, maybe a couple others.

~$ ibmcloud cr images
