● API working group formed in September 2016, officially announced December; successor to CF Service Broker API

● API defines an HTTP interface between the services marketplace of a platform and service brokers● Service Broker is the component of the service that implements the Service Broker API, for which a

platform's marketplace is a client● Service brokers are responsible for advertising a catalog of service offerings and service plans to the

marketplace, and acting on requests from the marketplace for:○ Provisioning, binding, unbinding, and deprovisioning○ Provisioning reserves a resource (service instance)○ Binding typically generates credentials necessary for accessing the resource or provides the service

instance with information for a configuration change● Platform marketplace may expose services from one or many service brokers● Individual service broker may support one or many platform marketplaces using different URL prefixes

and credentials● Backed by numerous industry leaders including Fujitsu, Google, IBM, Pivotal, Red Hat, and SAP

Open Service Broker APIOverview

ANSIBLE SERVICE BROKEROrchestrating OpenShift Services

● Define, extend, and deliver “simple” to “complex” multi-container OpenShift services● Standardized approach to using Ansible to manage and provision applications● Leverage existing investment in Ansible roles/playbooks● Easy management of applications for “simple” cloud-native apps

Ansible Service Broker● Embraces Service Catalog and Open Service

Broker API concepts● Supports:

○ Traditional S2I deployments○ Provisioning of pre-existing images○ Orchestrating external services○ Deploying multi-service solutions

Ansible Playbook Bundle● Lightweight application definition (meta-container)● Simple directory employing:

○ Named playbooks [provision, bind, …] to perform Open Service Broker actions

○ Metadata containing a list of required / optional parameters during deployment

○ Embedded Ansible runtime

Example Ansible Playbook Bundles:

• ELK, Etherpad, Foreman, Galera • ManageIQ, MongoDB, PostgreSQL • Foreman, Pulp, Wordpress • External MLAB MongoDB SaaS • and more...

Supports provisioning of and binding to

both on-platform and off-platform (public cloud)

services!

ANSIBLE PLAYBOOK BUNDLE (APB)Definition

● Simple directory with named “action” playbooks and metadata.

● Metadata:○ required/optional parameters ○ dependencies (provision vs bind)

● Leverages existing investment in Ansible Roles / Playbooks.

● Developer Tooling to drive guided approach.● Easily modified or extended.

ANSIBLE PLAYBOOK BUNDLE (APB)A Closer Look

Steps to create an APB:

1. Create apb.yml2. Create Ansible Playbooks3. apb prepare

a. Creates Dockerfile with image labels4. Build container

ANSIBLE PLAYBOOK BUNDLE (APB)abp.yaml

abp.yml

playbooks

provision.yml

deprovision.yml

Dockerfile

name: helloworld-apbimage: myorg/helloworld-apb

parameters: - name: namespace type: string default: hello-world-apb

- name: message type: string default: "Hello World"

ANSIBLE PLAYBOOK BUNDLE (APB)Ansible 2.4 will include k8s/openshift modules

- name: create namespace shell: "oc new-project {{ ns }}"

- name: create route shell: "oc create -n {{ ns }} -f route.yml"

apiVersion: v1kind: Routespec: port: targetPort: port-80 <snip>

- openshift_v1_project: name: '{{ ns }}'

- openshift_v1_route: name: wordpress namespace: '{{ ns }}' port_target_port: 80

Playbook - Executes oc commands directly Playbook - Leverages Ansible Modules for K8S/OCP
