Introducing Service Broker for Kubernetes


We are pleased to announce the general availability of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Service Broker for Kubernetes. With the continued adoption of DevOps and Kubernetes, developers want to streamline their automated deployment strategies to include provisioning and binding to any cloud service on which their application or microservice depends. For example, if your application depends on object storage wherever the application is running, then provisioning storage buckets should be part of the deployment process for the application. Better yet, it should be part of the deployment process within Kubernetes.

This notion of simplified and combined deployment is what spawned the Open Service Broker API project, which provides a consistent model for exposing cloud services to applications and application deployment tooling. The new service broker is an implementation of the Open Service Broker API for use in a Kubernetes cluster and for use with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services. It simplifies access to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, including new services like our Autonomous Databases, which can be a highly scalable, automated, self-tuning backend for microservices and containerized applications.

How Service Broker Works
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Service Broker for Kubernetes is available as a Helm chart, a Docker container, and in open source. It includes service broker adapters for the following services (with more to come):

Autonomous Transaction Processing
Autonomous Data Warehouse
Object Storage
Streaming
You can add the service broker to your Kubernetes cluster, and then use the Open Service Broker APIs from within kubectl to interact with the preceding cloud services. You don't need to provision these services before you deploy your application, or remember to clean them up after you un-deploy the application.

Service brokers enable application portability, too. The combination of a consistent model and embedding cloud service provisioning within your application deployment process means that when you deploy your application in a new cloud environment, it has everything that it needs to run. This is true for dev-test-production progressions, and for on-premises-to-cloud migrations.

To further enable application portability, a service broker can also be used to create service bindings to cloud services. For each binding, the service broker creates a Kubernetes secret that contains necessary information to connect to the service. Contents and format vary. For example, a binding to the Object Storage service can contain a pre-authenticated URI to access the storage bucket.[Source]-https://blogs.oracle.com/cloud-infrastructure/introducing-service-broker-for-kubernetes

If we talk about the hottest jobs in tech right now, then only two names will pop up in your mind those are a data analyst or data scientist.  And, that’s not only we are saying even the Harvard Business Review declared “data scientist” as the“sexiest job of the 21st century .” But there is a lot of confusion between both the names even people who have some basic knowledge of data science consider both the job profiles as one.  Well, the reason behind this confusion is both of the professions deal with big data, rather defined vaguely and sometimes used interchangeably with one another. So, here we are to explain the differences between the two of them and that too in the easiest way. Let’s begin the brief introduction of both the terms, followed by skillsets each require to understand well.   Definition a. Data Analysts Data Analysts play a vital role in the Data Science domain. As a role, they play a variety of tasks associated with collectin...

Full Stack Development : All that you need to know

What is a Full Stack Development professional? A full stack development professional is the one who is having a sound technical knowledge of each and every aspect of development – front end, back end, various operating systems among other details of the technology. These people are usually termed as “developer generalists”. The significant thing to be noted here is that full stack developer should not be confused with senior developers. In nutshell, this stack of developers can create any complex application from the scratch, provided they would have understood how each technical layer should interact with the other. Why Full Stack Development? At the beginning of this post, we have mentioned about a query that had instantly popped in the mind – why would a company require full stack development professional. Here’s the answer: 1. Creation of unique code: The developer or the agency would be able to create a unique code for multiple technologies; as they could work with ...
