Detection of binding data through owned resources

You can use this method if your backing service owns one or more Kubernetes resources such as route, service, config map, or secret that you can use to detect the binding data. In this method, the Service Binding Operator detects the binding data from resources owned by the backing service CR.

The following examples show the detectBindingResources API option set to true in the ServiceBinding CR:

Example

apiVersion: binding.operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: ServiceBinding
metadata:
  name: etcdbinding
  namespace: service-binding-demo
spec:
  detectBindingResources: true
  services:
    - group: etcd.database.coreos.com
      version: v1beta2
      kind: EtcdCluster
      name: etcd-cluster-example
  application:
    name: java-app
    group: apps
    version: v1
    resource: deployments

In the previous example, EtcdCluster custom service resource owns one or more Kubernetes resources such as route, service, config map, or secret.

The Service Binding Operator automatically detects the binding data exposed on each of the owned resources.
