Hi all,
as we mentioned previously, we have a pretty entity which allows an
application to be deployed on a Cloud Foundry platform by using a
new paas location, CloudFoundryPaasLocation.
Here you can find a simple blueprint which shows the entity usage:
name: CloudFoundryPaasLocation configuration example
location: pivotal-ws
services:
- type: org.apache.brooklyn.cloudfoundry.entity.VanillaCloudFoundryApplication
id: vanilla-app
brooklyn.config:
name-app: name
path: classpath://brooklyn-example-hello-world-sql-webapp-in-paas.war
buildpack: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack.git
domain: domain
host: application-host
You can find more examples in [1]. Currently, we are thinking about supporting
Cloud Foundry service. Documentation [2] says that an existent service can be
bound to an application. Then, it looks interesting to use a new entity to
instantiate
a service, allowing users to create services and bind them to an application
from a blueprint.
Following, you can find blueprint which shows my proposal to manage a service.
name: CloudFoundryPaasLocation configuration example
location: pivotal-ws
services:
- type: org.apache.brooklyn.cloudfoundry.entity.VanillaCloudFoundryApplication
id: vanilla-app
brooklyn.config:
name-app: name
path: classpath://brooklyn-example-hello-world-sql-webapp-in-paas.war
buildpack: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack.git
domain: domain
host: application-host
bind:
- instance_name
- type: org.apache.brooklyn.cloudfoundry.entity.servies.MySqlService
brooklyn.config:
service-type: available_service #which was added to the platform by a broker
instance-name: instance_name #used to bind the instance
plan: plan_to_use #offers varying levels of resources or features for the
same service
creationScriptUrl: script.sql #script to init the database
MySqlService is an entity which allows to create an instance of any mysql
service.
Then, Actually, all the services are created following the same method, a
service
requires the service-type, the instance-name and the plan to be created, then
it is
possible to create any service using a generic entity. However, it looks
interesting
to create a entity for manage MySql services, because it will allow concrete
operations
to be carried out, for example, it allows the database, which is created by the
service,
to be initialized using a script.sql.
Currently, users have to initialize the database manually after creating the
service,
so this proposal would facilitate the management of the Cloud Foundry services.
Does it make sense for you? I will appreciate any advice and suggestion in
order
to improve this idea.
Best,
Jose
