EMC ECS Service Broker PCF Tile

Description

This tile is created using the Tile Generator and deploys a service-broker application as a CF app. It deploys a sister project, the ECS Service Broker. For more instructions on using the broker once deployed, refer to the ECS Service Broker documentation.

This tile implements the following tile generator errands:

• deploy-service-broker: Deploy the broker as a CF app.
• register-broker: Register the deployed broker with CF as service broker.
• destroy-broker: Deregister and delete the app from CF.

Upon completion, PCF Tile will support dynamic plans which enables the broker to be configured from the PCF Ops Manager.

End-user Broker Usage

CLoud Foundry end-users can create and bind services to their applications using the cf CLI application.

cf create-service ecs-bucket unlimited my_bucket

This creates a bucket of the ecs-bucket service with the unlimited plan and the name: my-bucket. To bind an application to this bucket:

cf bind-service my-app my-bucket

The default will give my-app "full control" of the bucket. To give a reduced set of permissions, you can provide additional configuration parameters with the -c flag:

cf bind-service my-app my-bucket -c '{"permissions": ["read", "write"]}'

Valid permissions include:

• read
• read_acl
• write
• write_acl
• execute
• full_control
• privileged_write
• delete
• none
