wercker status

Cloud Foundry Service Broker to manage RDS instances and a shared RDS Database.

Setup

There are important environment variables that should be overriden inside the manifest.yml file

Note: All environment variables prefixed with DB_ refer to attributes for the database the broker itself will use for internal uses.

  1. DB_URL: The hostname / IP address of the database.
  2. DB_PORT: The port number to access the database.
  3. DB_NAME: The database name.
  4. DB_USER: Username to access the database.
  5. DB_PASS: Password to access the database.
  6. DB_TYPE: The type of database. Currently supported types: postgres and sqlite3.
  7. DB_SSLMODE: The type of SSL Mode to use when connecting to the database. Supported modes: disabled, require and verify-ca.
  8. AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: The id credential with access to make requests to the Amazon RDS .
  9. AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: The secret key (treat like a password) credential to access Amazon RDS.
  10. INSTANCE_TAGS: Tags for the RDS instances.
  11. AWS_SEC_GROUP: The security group for the RDS instances (sg-xxxx).
  12. AWS_DB_SUBNET_GROUP: The name of DB subnet group for the RDS instances.

Note the AWS Environment Variables should be generated by following the instructions here

Make sure the account has write access to RDS and EC2 (particularly for VPC and Subnet).

Example of permissions that suffice: AmazonRDSFullAccess and AmazonEC2FullAccess

How to deploy it

  1. cf push
  2. cf create-service-broker SERVICE-NAME USER PASS https://BROKER-URL
  3. cf enable-service-access rds

How to use it

To use the service you need to create a service instance and bind it:

  1. cf create-service rds shared-psql MYDB
  2. cf bind-service APP MYDB

When you do that you will have all the credentials in the VCAP_SERVICES environment variable with the JSON key rds.

Also, you will have a DATABASE_URL environment variable that will be the connection string to the DB.
