Installing Azure Open Service Broker for PCF

Import the tile

Download the tile from Pivotal Network. Import the tile using your Ops Manager instance.

Create a Redis database instance

The Azure Open Service Broker stores information in a Redis database.

Check if Redis Cache is enabled for your subscription:

$ az provider show -n Microsoft.Cache -o table
Namespace        RegistrationState
---------------  -------------------
Microsoft.Cache  NotRegistered

If the service is not registered, use the CLI to enable it:

$ az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Cache
Registering is still on-going. You can monitor using 'az provider show -n Microsoft.Cache'

Wait for the service to be registered:

$ az provider show -n Microsoft.Cache -o table
Namespace        RegistrationState
---------------  -------------------
Microsoft.Cache  Registered

Create a resource group for Azure services:

$ RESOURCE_GROUP=cfdemo-services
$ LOCATION=northeurope
$ az group create --location $LOCATION --name $RESOURCE_GROUP

Create a cache instance:

$ REDIS_CACHE=osba-cache-north-europe
$ az redis create -n $REDIS_CACHE -g $RESOURCE_GROUP -l $LOCATION --sku Basic --vm-size C1

Caution: this is not a production ready installation!

Record the hostname of your Redis database:

$ az redis list -g $RESOURCE_GROUP | jq --arg REDIS_CACHE $REDIS_CACHE -r '.[] | select(.name==$REDIS_CACHE) | .hostName'
osba-cache-north-europe.redis.cache.windows.net

Record the password as well:

$ az redis list-keys -n $REDIS_CACHE -g $RESOURCE_GROUP | jq -r '.primaryKey'

Configure the tile

Go to the tile configuration on Ops Manager. Enter these values:

• Network Assignments: Network = Services
• Azure Config: enter your subscription / tenant / client from your Azure installation
• Broker Config:
• Minimum Module Stability: select EXPERIMENTAL to get access to all Azure services
• Storage Redis Host = recorded hostname
• Storage Redis Password = recorded password (primaryKey)
• Storage AES256 KEY = use a 32-character string (keep it somewhere in case it is needed in the future)
• Async Redis Host = recorded hostname
• Async Redis Password = recorded password

Apply changes to install the service broker.

When the installation is done, have a look at the Marketplace on Apps Manager. Azure services should appear:
