EMC ECS Service Broker PCF Tile

Description

This tile is created using the Pivotal 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 Pivotal Network 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.

Currently, the Tile version 2.3.2 is available for download via the Pivotal Network product page.

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
