Principles

  • Services, not infrastructure
  • Interoperability
  • Automate everything

The Service Abstraction

Service Broker –> Service Class –> Service Instance –> Binding

Service Broker

A clean abstraction that allows services to expose a catalog of capabilities as well as the ability to create, use and delete those services. See “Open Service Broker API”.

Service Class

Factories for provisioning a service instance for consumption.

Binding

How you connect to and use a service instance

Service Mesh

Networking for services, not bytes.
