DataStax Enterprise (DSE) contains a highly distributed NoSQL database - a perfect fit for a highly distributed cloud platform. Pivotal Cloud Foundry makes provisioning access to your existing DSE clusters a self-service exercise for developers and operators. Spring, .NET or any Pivotal Cloud Foundry managed application can then connect and use this Apache Cassandra-based technology as either as OLTP system of record, or read-intensive datastore. Join Pieter Humphrey and Gilbert Lau for a brief overview of Cassandra technology, discussion of business benefits and use cases with Pivotal Cloud Foundry, demos of the Pivotal Cloud Foundry Service Broker for DSE, and a look at some proof-of-concept work to deploy a fully BOSH 2.0 managed DSE Tile on Pivotal Cloud Foundry.

14. What is DataStax Enterprise for PCF?
• We have partnered with Pivotal to explore options for supporting
DataStax Enterprise as a service offering on Pivotal Cloud Foundry
(PCF)
• Requires a Bring Your Own License (BYOL) for DataStax Enterprise
• Multiple service options under consideration:
• Unmanaged Service Broker – supports automatic integration of
applications with externally managed DSE cluster
• Managed Service Broker – supports on-demand BOSH
managed creation of DSE Enterprise service instances

15. Service Brokers and Pivotal Cloud Foundry
What types of services does PCF offer?
• Managed - Fully integrated, with
full lifecycle management
• User-Provided – Created and
managed external to the platform
(unmanaged)
What is a service?
• Allows resources to be easily
provisioned on-demand
• Often middleware and other
“components” necessary for
applications
• Can be a persistent, stateful layer

20. Unmanaged Service Broker Benefits
• For use with externally managed DSE clusters
• Automatic integration of applications with externally managed DSE cluster
• Allows applications on Pivotal Cloud Foundry to discover external DSE cluster IP
addresses
• Creation & delivery of unique database user credentials based on DSE roles
through service plans
Use cases:
• On-board existing production and non-production DSE cluster(s)

22. Managed Service Broker Benefits
App Developers:
• Self service marketplace empowers
application developers to create and scale
out their own dedicated DSE clusters
when required.
• Automatic integration of applications with
databases; creation and delivery of
database user credentials to applications
via environment variables.
For IT Operators:
• Multiple resources based
service plans to fit different
application requirements
• Service plan quota limits govern
resource exposure
