Abstract

A request is received from a deployer associated with an application to create an instance broker service instance. A request is received from the deployer to bind the instance broker service instance to the application. Instance broker credentials associated with the instance broker service instance are received and provided to the application. The application uses the instance broker credentials to access the instance broker service instance and determines whether to create a new service instance using the instance broker service instance.

Claims (43)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving a request from a deployer associated with an application of a multi-tenancy computing environment to create an instance broker service instance;

receiving a request from the deployer to bind the instance broker service instance to the application;

delegating the binding request to a service broker; and

creating, using the service broker, instance broker service credentials;

receiving instance broker credentials associated with the instance broker service instance;

providing the instance broker credentials to the application, wherein the application uses the instance broker credentials to access the instance broker service instance; and

determining, using the application, whether to create a new service instance using the instance broker service instance.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising delegating the request to create the instance broker service instance to the service broker.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising creating, using the service broker, the instance broker service instance.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising sending a request to create the new service instance to the instance broker service instance using the instance broker credentials.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising creating, using the instance broker service instance, a service instance.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising creating, using the instance broker service instance, service instance credentials.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising sending a request using the instance broker credentials from the application to the instance broker service instance to obtain service instance credentials for accessing an existing service instance.

8. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:

receiving a request from a deployer associated with an application of a multi-tenancy computing environment to create an instance broker service instance;

receiving a request from the deployer to bind the instance broker service instance to the application;

delegating the binding request to a service broker; and

creating, using the service broker, instance broker service credentials;

receiving instance broker credentials associated with the instance broker service instance;

providing the instance broker credentials to the application, wherein the application uses the instance broker credentials to access the instance broker service instance; and

determining, using the application, whether to create a new service instance using the instance broker service instance.

9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising one or more instructions to delegate the request to create the instance broker service instance to the service broker.

10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 9 , further comprising one or more instructions to create, using the service broker, the instance broker service instance.

11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising one or more instructions to send a request to create the new service instance to the instance broker service instance using the instance broker credentials.

12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising one or more instructions to create, using the instance broker service instance, a service instance.

13. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising one or more instructions to create, using the instance broker service instance, service instance credentials.

14. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising one or more instructions to send a request using the instance broker credentials from the application to the instance broker service instance to obtain service instance credentials for accessing an existing service instance.

15. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

a computer memory; and

a hardware processor interoperably coupled with the computer memory and configured to perform operations comprising:

receiving a request from a deployer associated with an application of a multi-tenancy computing environment to create an instance broker service instance;

receiving a request from the deployer to bind the instance broker service instance to the application;

delegating the binding request to a service broker; and

creating, using the service broker, instance broker service credentials;

receiving instance broker credentials associated with the instance broker service instance;

providing the instance broker credentials to the application, wherein the application uses the instance broker credentials to access the instance broker service instance; and

determining, using the application, whether to create a new service instance using the instance broker service instance.

16. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , further configured to delegate the request to create an instance broker service instance to the service broker.

17. The computer-implemented system of claim 16 , further configured to create, using the service broker, the instance broker service instance.

18. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , further configured to send a request to create the new service instance to the instance broker service instance using the instance broker credentials.

19. The computer-implemented system of claim 18 , further configured to create, using the instance broker service instance, a service instance and service instance credentials.

20. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , further configured to send a request using the instance broker credentials from the application to the instance broker service instance to obtain service instance credentials for accessing an existing service instance.
