As the community around PodCTL has grown (~8000 weekly listeners) we’ve constantly asked them to give us feedback on topics to discuss and areas where they want to learn. This week we discussed and answered a number of questions about big data and analytics, application deployments, routing security, and storage deployment models. The show will […]
Read More...The Automation Broker works in conjunction with the Kubernetes Service Catalog to make services and applications easily deployable. An end user selects a service to be provisioned, selects a “plan” that describes the level of service (small, large, paid, free, persistent, ephemeral, etc), and then provides any required parameters. In this scenario, Helm charts can […]

The idea was that this might be useful for troubleshooting connectivity issues within the cluster by including a web browser along with the bind-utils and net-tools packages. As with most APB’s we’ve developed, there were several iterations […]

The Open Service Broker API standard aims to standardize how services (cloud, third-party, on-premise, legacy, etc) are delivered to applications running on cloud platforms like OpenShift. This allows applications to consume services the exact same way no matter on which cloud platform they are deployed. The service broker pluggable architecture enables admins to add third-party […]

Introduction With the OpenShift Container Platform 3.9 release of OpenShift Ansible Broker (OAB), we’ve added support to run the broker and Ansible Playbook Bundles (APBs) behind an HTTP/HTTPS proxy such as Squid. This makes it possible to run the broker in secured network environments where outgoing traffic must pass through a proxy. OAB + Proxy: […]
