Providing Services to Cloud Native Platforms with the Open Service Broker API

In a digital world, widely adopted and easy to use APIs are the cornerstone of collaboration and interoperability. As Cloud technologies mature and become commonplace, the absence of standards surfaces challenges in the implementation of solutions by Cloud vendors, service providers and end users. Building on top of the experience of Cloud Foundry's Service Broker API, the Open Service Broker API working group brings together experts from Google, RedHat, Pivotal, SAP and IBM. The Open Service Broker API is an industry-driven, collaborative effort to demolish barriers in the adoption of Cloud Native services, with a user-centric approach focused on delivering features based exclusively in real world use cases.

In this talk, you’ll learn exactly what the Open Service Broker API specification is, explore its history and learn how the cross-ecosystem collaboration works.

30. 22 What is the OSBAPI?
31. 22 What is the OSBAPI? • It’s a specification…
32. 22 What is the OSBAPI? • It’s a specification… • Implemented by platforms that want to offer easy access to services
33. 22 What is the OSBAPI? • It’s a specification… • Implemented by platforms that want to offer easy access to services • Implemented by service providers that want to offer managed services to platforms
34. 22 What is the OSBAPI? • It’s a specification… • Implemented by platforms that want to offer easy access to services • Implemented by service providers that want to offer managed services to platforms • It’s not about how the service is deployed

69. 45 Types of services •Vanilla Service Broker - Databases, APIs, etc! •Route Services - Security, API Management •Volume Services - Specialist Disk & Storage https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/services/api.html
70. 46 Create a Service Broker https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/services/api.html
71. 46 Create a Service Broker •Implement a service broker that conforms the the Service Broker API v2 Specification •Simple interface for developers •Choose synchronous or async provisioning https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/services/api.html
72. 47 •Cloud Platforms that will support OSBAPI Partner with public platforms
