Proper way to use services in CF v2 on AWS

[Bíró Balázs]

Hi,

I have red the entire CF documentation, but it is still not clear what the proper way is to use services (Redis, MongDB, etc.) in CF v2 on AWS .
1. As far as I know Managed Services seems the most reliable solution, but I cannot find any deployable for example MongoDB or Redis which implements the Service Broker API.
2. The Cloud Foundry Services Contrib Release is for CF V1. Correct?
3. It seems a bit inconvenient, but should I nevertheless use User-Provided Service?
4. Or Docker, but it is not production ready.

Thanks,
Balázs

neither the v1 services contrib or docker are production ready, but both should be options for you if you don't care too much about that data and just want productive development.

i believe the v1 services contrib should work with CF v2 because CF v2 is still compatible with the v1 Service Broker API. dr nic i believe has experience with this.

for using the docker service broker on aws, you can see this release from ferdy [1]. when users request a new mongodb in the cf marketplace, they'll get a docker container just for them. it is a single node docker host, so the capacity of the number of containers will be limited by the VM size you choose.
