Application Broker

Overview

The Application Broker (AB) provides applications in the Service Catalog. An Application represents a remote application connected to the Kyma instance. The AB implements the Service Broker API.

The AB fetches all the applications' custom resources and exposes their APIs and Events as service classes to the Service Catalog. When the applications list is available in the Service Catalog, you can provision those service classes and enable Kyma services to use them.

The AB works as a Namespace-scoped broker which is registered in the specific Namespace when the Application Mapping is created in this Namespace.

For more details about provisioning, deprovisioning, binding, and unbinding, see the Service Broker API documentation.

Prerequisites

To set up the project, download these tools:

• Go 1.11.4
• Dep v0.5.0
• Docker

These Go and Dep versions are compliant with the buildpack used by Prow. For more details read this document.

Development

Before each commit, use the make verify command to test your changes. To build an image, use the make build-image command with DOCKER_PUSH_REPOSITORY and DOCKER_PUSH_DIRECTORY variables, for example:

DOCKER_PUSH_REPOSITORY=eu.gcr.io DOCKER_PUSH_DIRECTORY=/kyma-project/develop make build-image

Use environment variables

Name	Required	Default	Description
APP_PORT	NO	8080	The port on which the HTTP server listens
APP_BROKER_RELIST_DURATION_WINDOW	YES	None	Time period after which the AB synchronizes with the Service Catalog if a new Application is added. In case more than one Application is added, synchronization is performed only once.
APP_SERVICE_NAME	YES	None	The name of the Kubernetes Service which exposes the Service Brokers API
APP_UNIQUE_SELECTOR_LABEL_KEY	YES	None	Defined label key selector which allows uniquely identify AB pod's
APP_UNIQUE_SELECTOR_LABEL_VALUE	YES	None	Defined label value selector which allows uniquely identify AB pod's
NAMESPACE	YES	None	AB working Namespace

Code generation

Structs related to custom resource definitions are defined in pkg/apis/application/v1alpha1/types.go and registered in pkg/apis/application/v1alpha1/. After making any changes there, please run:
