#**Lab 11: Rollback Applications**
In this lab we will see how we can rollback an application in OpenShift quickly without switching to an older version of the source code in SCM. We will:
1. Use the same app we deployed in Lab 10. If you haven't, please complete that Lab first.
2. Rollback the application using the OpenShift v3 command "rollback"
**Step 1: Check application health status**
Run:
$ oc get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
scm-web-hooks-1-build 0/1 Completed 0 4m
scm-web-hooks-2-build 0/1 Completed 0 1m
scm-web-hooks-3-4ai3m 1/1 Running 0 40s
scm-web-hooks-3-build 0/1 Completed 0 1m
Inspecting the output of the above command we can see that we have a single
replica of the previously deployed application running.
We can also see that previously three pods were used to build the application.
OpenShift will create and docker deploy a pod per deployment. This tells us that
we currently have two versions of the application.
You can also use:
$ oc get dc
NAME TRIGGERS LATEST
scm-web-hooks ConfigChange, ImageChange 3
The latest and active version for the application is **3**
If we display the application in the browser we see:

**Step 2: Rollback the application**
Using the previous command we ran to retrieve the deployment configuration, we will revert or rollback to version 1.
$ oc rollback scm-web-hooks --to-version=1
#4 rolled back to scm-web-hooks-1
If we re-run the command to list the build configurations, we now see:
$ oc get dc
NAME TRIGGERS LATEST VERSION
scm-web-hooks ConfigChange, ImageChange 4
So OpenShift has rolled back the application to version 1 and created a new build configuration.
Reloading the application now displays:

## Summary
We have seen that rolling back to previous deployments is easy when using immutable container based deployments that
are versioned
