pip3 install git+https://github.com/eruvanos/openbrokerapi.gitUsage
You can start with a skeleton project or just from scratch.
from typing import Union, List
import openbrokerapi
from openbrokerapi import api
from openbrokerapi.api import ServiceBroker
from openbrokerapi.catalog import ServicePlan
from openbrokerapi.service_broker import (
Service,
ProvisionDetails,
ProvisionedServiceSpec,
DeprovisionDetails,
DeprovisionServiceSpec
)
class MyServiceBroker(ServiceBroker):
def catalog(self) -> Union[Service, List[Service]]:
return Service(
id='service id',
name='service name',
description='service description',
bindable=False,

name='plan name',
description='plan description',
)
]
)
def provision(self,

**kwargs) -> ProvisionedServiceSpec:
# Create service instance
# ...
return ProvisionedServiceSpec()
def deprovision(self,
instance_id: str,
details: DeprovisionDetails,
async_allowed: bool,
**kwargs) -> DeprovisionServiceSpec:
# Delete service instance
# ...
return DeprovisionServiceSpec(is_async=False)
print('Start server on 127.0.0.1:5000')
print('Check the catalog at:')
print('> curl 127.0.0.1:5000/v2/catalog -H "X-Broker-API-Version: 2.14"')
api.serve(MyServiceBroker(), None)
# Simply start the server
# api.serve(ExampleServiceBroker(), api.BrokerCredentials("", ""))
# or start the server without authentication
# api.serve(ExampleServiceBroker(), None)
# or start the server with multiple authentication
# api.serve(ExampleServiceBroker(), [api.BrokerCredentials("", ""), api.BrokerCredentials("", "")])
# or with multiple service brokers and multiple credentials
# api.serve_multiple([ExampleServiceBroker(), ExampleServiceBroker()], [api.BrokerCredentials("", ""), api.BrokerCredentials("", "")])
# or register blueprint to your own FlaskApp instance
# app = Flask(__name__)
# logger = basic_config() # Use root logger with a basic configuration provided by openbrokerapi.log_util
# openbroker_bp = api.get_blueprint(ExampleServiceBroker(), api.BrokerCredentials("", ""), logger)
# app.register_blueprint(openbroker_bp)
# app.run("0.0.0.0")Deployment
The included api.serve function provides a server setup for local usage only.
For productive deployments use the blueprint from api.get_blueprint to
setup a production ready server like Waitress
or other mentioned in Flask Deployment Docs
Error Types
Openbrokerapi defines a handful of error types in errors.py for some common error cases that your service broker may encounter. Raise these from your ServiceBroker methods where appropriate, and openbrokerapi will do the “right thing” (™), and give Cloud Foundry an appropriate status code, as per the Service Broker API specification.
