Redis Broker

This is an implementation of a Service Broker that uses Helm to provision instances of Redis. This is a proof-of-concept for the Kubernetes Service Catalog, and should not be used in production. Thanks to the mariadb broker repo.

Prerequisites

1. Kubernetes cluster
2. Helm 2.x
3. Service Catalog API - follow the walkthrough

Installing the Broker

The Redis Service Broker can be installed using the Helm chart in this repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/yqf3139/redis-broker.git
$ cd redis-broker
$ helm install --name redis-broker --namespace redis-broker charts/redis-broker

To register the Broker with the Service Catalog, create the Broker object:

$ kubectl --context service-catalog create -f examples/redis-broker.yaml

If the Broker was successfully registered, the redis ServiceClass will now be available in the catalog:

$ kubectl --context service-catalog get serviceclasses
NAME      KIND
redis   ServiceClass.v1alpha1.servicecatalog.k8s.io

Usage

Create the Instance object

$ kubectl --context service-catalog create -f examples/redis-instance.yaml

This will result in the installation of a new Redis chart:

$ helm list
NAME                                  	REVISION	UPDATED                 	STATUS  	CHART               	NAMESPACE
i-3e0e9973-a072-49ba-8308-19568e7f4669	1       	Sat May 13 17:28:35 2017	DEPLOYED	redis-0.6.1       	3e0e9973-a072-49ba-8308-19568e7f4669

Create a Binding to fetch credentials

$ kubectl --context service-catalog create -f examples/redis-binding.yaml

A secret called redis-instance-credentials will be created containing the connection details for this Redis instance.

$ kubectl get secret redis-instance-credentials -o yaml
