Go to your “windowsnetworking” namespace, on the left hand side click the “Virtualization” tab

Click “VirtualMachines” and click on the winnetworking1 VM. Click the “YAML” tab and search for “app: winnetworking”. This is an arbitrary label assigned to both VMs.

On the left side of the console, click to expand “Networking”. Click “Services”.

In the top right corner, click “Create Service”. On line 4, change the name to “windowsnetworking”.

Modify line 8 to read “app: winnetworking”

Change the “targetPort:” value on line 12 to 80 then click “Create” in the bottom left corner

Click the “Pods” tab and notice that the two winnetworking VMs have already registered with the service object. This will allow applications within the OpenShift cluster to access these VMs through the windowsnetworking “load balancer”.

On the left side, under “Services”, click “Routes” then click “Create Route”.

In the “Name” field put windowsnetworking

Click the drop down box below “Service” and select the windowsnetworking service you just created.

Click the drop down box below “Target port” and select port 80 then click “Create” in the bottom left corner.

In the middle right, see the “Location” section.
