This is an experimental Cloud Foundry Service Broker for Amazon ElastiCache .
This is NOT presently a production ready Service Broker. This is a work in progress. It is suitable for experimentation and may not become supported in the future.
Using the standard go install (you must have Go already installed in your local machine):
$ go install github.com/cloudfoundry-community/elasticache-broker
$ apefactory-broker -port=3000 -config=<path-to-your-config-file>
The broker can be deployed to an already existing Cloud Foundry installation:
$ git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/elasticache-broker.git
$ cd elasticache-broker
Modify the included manifest file to include your AWS credentials and optionally the sample configuration file. Then you can push the broker to your Cloud Foundry environment:
$ cp config-sample.json config.json
$ cf push elasticache-broker
If you want to run the AWS ElastiCache Service Broker on a Docker container, you can use the apefactory/elasticache-broker Docker image.
$ docker run -d --name elasticache-broker -p 3000:3000 \
-e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your-aws-access-key-id> \
-e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your-aws-secret-access-key> \
apefactory/elasticache-broker
The Docker image cames with an embedded sample configuration file. If you want to override it, you can create the Docker image with you custom configuration file by running:
$ git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/elasticache-broker.git
$ cd elasticache-broker
$ bin/build-docker-image
This broker can be deployed using the AWS Service Broker BOSH Release.
Refer to the Configuration instructions for details about configuring this broker.
This broker gets the AWS credentials from the environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. It requires a user with some IAM & Elasticache permissions. Refer to the iam_policy.json file to check what actions the user must be allowed to perform.
Configure and deploy the broker using one of the above methods. Then:
- Check that your Cloud Foundry installation supports Service Broker API Version v2.6 or greater
- Register the broker within your Cloud Foundry installation;
- Make Services and Plans public;
- Depending on your Cloud Foundry settings, you migh also need to create/bind an Application Security Group to allow access to the different cluster caches.
Application Developers can start to consume the services using the standard CF CLI commands.
Depending on the broker configuration, Application Developers can send arbitrary parameters on certain broker calls:
Provision calls support the following optional arbitrary parameters:
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| preferred_maintenance_window | String | The weekly time range during which system maintenance can occur (*) |
(*) Refer to the Amazon ElastiCache Documentation for more details about how to set these properties
Update calls support the following optional arbitrary parameters:
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| apply_immediately | Boolean | Specifies whether the modifications in this request and any pending modifications are asynchronously applied as soon as possible, regardless of the Preferred Maintenance Window setting for the DB instance (*) |
| preferred_maintenance_window | String | The weekly time range during which system maintenance can occur (*) |
(*) Refer to the Amazon ElastiCache Documentation for more details about how to set these properties
