Using kubetcl to provision an Astra DBDatabase
The Open Service Broker API provides a standard RESTful interface for provisioning services from a provided catalog, such as Astra DBdatabases.
|
The Astra Service Broker supports only Kubernetes v1.13 and later. |
Prerequisites
-
Running Kubernetes cluster you can access via command line
-
Helm package manager for Kubernetes
-
DataStax Astra DB account with service account credentials
Provision your database using kubectl
-
Create a file called
astra.yamlto describe the type of instance you need:apiVersion: servicecatalog.k8s.io/v1beta1 kind: ServiceInstance metadata: name: <db_name> namespace: default spec: parameters: capacity_units: 1 cloud_provider: <cloud_provider> keyspace: <keyspace_name> region: <region> serviceClassExternalName: astra-database servicePlanExternalName: <plan_option> -
Apply the
astra.yamlfile to provision your database:
kubectl apply -f astra.yaml|
The time required to provision a database depends on the selected plan. It can take several minutes to provision your database. |
Check your instance status
The service catalog handles the provisioning and communication with Astra. After a few minutes, check the instance status:
kubectl get serviceinstances <db_name>You will see the following results:
NAME CLASS PLAN STATUS AGE
<db_name> ServiceClass/26b3fbe6-0c18-5140-8ac6-87d03b5b4148 1c9bb5ac-6609-5af5-a747-ecf1d093cc7f Ready 3m20sTry it out
Get your secure connect bundle from the Connect page for your Astra DBdatabase. This is the information you need to configure the driver. You can see this example in the Spring Reactive Pet Clinic sample app.
