A new instance of WildFly can be easily provisioned on OpenShift by using the quick start. Just a single click, and you are ready to go!

Generally power users of OpenShift use Command Line Tools. However you could not create WildFly cartridge using the CLI tools. But bug# 1134134 is now resolved.

And so now rhc cartridge-list shows:

Note: Web cartridges can only be added to new applications.
 
(*) denotes a cartridge with additional usage costs.
 
(!) denotes a cartridge that will not receive automatic security updates.

The newly added cartridge of WildFly 8 is shown in bold.

And so now a new WildFly instance can be easily provisioned using the CLI as:

workspaces> rhc app-create mywildfly jboss-wildfly-8
Application Options
-------------------
Domain:     milestogo
Cartridges: jboss-wildfly-8

   run 'rhc port-forward mywildfly' to access the web admin area on port 9990.
 
Waiting for your DNS name to be available ... done
 
Cloning into 'mywildfly'...

Your application 'mywildfly' is now available.
 
  URL:        http://mywildfly-milestogo.rhcloud.com/

Run 'rhc show-app mywildfly' for more details about your app.

And then the application’s main page is accessible as shown:

And the application can be deleted as:

workspaces> rhc app-delete mywildfly 
This is a non-reversible action! Your application code and data will be permanently deleted if you continue!
 
Are you sure you want to delete the application 'mywildfly'? (yes|no): yes
 
Deleting application 'mywildfly' ... deleted
