Service Catalog CLI

🚨	This repository has been gifted upstream to Kubernetes Service Catalog. Like a salmon after spawning season, its purpose having been achieved, this repo is now closed for business.

This project is a command-line interface (CLI) for interacting with Kubernetes Service Catalog resources. svcat is a domain-specific tool to make interacting with the Service Catalog easier. While many of its commands have analogs to kubectl, our goal is to streamline and optimize the operator experience, contributing useful code back upstream to Kubernetes where applicable.

svcat communicates with the Service Catalog API through the aggregated API endpoint on a Kubernetes cluster.

Prerequisites

In order to use svcat, you will need:

A Kubernetes cluster running v1.7+ or higher
A broker compatible with the Open Service Broker API installed on the cluster, such as:
- User Provided Service Broker
- Open Service Broke for Azure
The Service Catalog installed on the cluster.

Install

Follow the appropriate instructions for your shell to install svcat:

Bash

curl -sLO https://servicecatalogcli.blob.core.windows.net/cli/latest/$(uname -s)/$(uname -m)/svcat
chmod +x ./svcat
mv ./svcat /usr/local/bin/
svcat --version

PowerShell

iwr 'https://servicecatalogcli.blob.core.windows.net/cli/latest/Windows/x86_64/svcat.exe' -UseBasicParsing -OutFile svcat.exe
mkdir -f ~\bin
$env:PATH += ";${pwd}\bin"
svcat --version

The snippet above adds a directory to your PATH for the current session only. You will need to find a permanent location for it and add it to your PATH.

Manual

Download the appropriate binary for your operating system:
Make the binary executable.
Move the binary to a directory on your PATH.

Use

This CLI is called svcat on the command line. Run svcat -h to see the available commands.

Below are some common tasks made easy with svcat. The example output assumes that Open Service Broker for Azure is installed on the cluster.

Find brokers installed on the cluster

$ svcat get brokers
  NAME                               URL                                STATUS
+------+--------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
  osba   http://osba-open-service-broker-azure.osba.svc.cluster.local   Ready

Trigger a sync of a broker's catalog

$ svcat sync broker osba
Successfully fetched catalog entries from osba broker
