SIG Service Catalog
summary
Service Catalog exposes cloud services inside Kubernetes via the Open Service Broker API, letting platforms register brokers, list classes/plans, provision instances and create bindings that materialize credentials as Kubernetes Secrets. Demo uses minibroker + Helm charts to provision Redis, bind it, attach the Secret to a deployment and the app stores data successfully; the svcat CLI and kubectl YAML both work. Recent GA adds namespace-scoped brokers and catalog restrictions; next work moves the aggregated API server to CRDs. IBM reports 300+ services available via brokers.
