Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

Add tags for an external image

To enable Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform resources to track and consume container images sourced from external registries, add tags to the corresponding image streams. This action integrates external image content securely into your cluster’s local image management system.

Procedure

Add tags pointing to internal or external images, by using the oc tag command for all tag-related operations:
```
$ oc tag <repository/image> <image-name:tag>
```
For example, this command maps the docker.io/python:3.6.0 image to the 3.6 tag in the python image stream.
```
$ oc tag docker.io/python:3.6.0 python:3.6
```
Example output
```
Tag python:3.6 set to docker.io/python:3.6.0.
```
If the external image is secured, you must create a secret with credentials for accessing that registry.
