Is it possible to skip the "injecting environment variable" step after the controller created service binding secrets?

We are looking into integrating Appsody Operator with Service Binding Operator, and we want our operator to be in charge of modifying the resources (e.g. Deployment, StatefulSet) created by the Appsody operator to run users' applications.

Heya!

Is it possible to skip the "injecting environment variable" step after the controller created service binding secrets?

We have a task on our planning board to only only generate a managed secret which we never got to :)

Just to throw it out there, if applicationSelector is not defined in ServiceBindingRequest, SBO skips the injection.

You mean, it already works? That would be an unintended feature then :)

Nice! Is there any timeline of when it will be implemented?

No, I think specifying applicationSelector is required now. I meant one way to do it is by not defining applicationSelector in the CR :)

I'll move it up the board, @navidsh .

@DhritiShikhar Could you start working on https://issues.redhat.com/browse/APPSVC-9 again :) , do have a chat with @isutton to avoid conflicts since there's a major refactoring happening in #293 / #286 .

Created a public copy of the feature request/story #297

[navidsh]

@sbose78 Thank you very much!

[arthurdm]

thx guys! this will allow for a seamless integration. 👍

Update:

We merged #293 which had refactoring to support multiple backing CRs ( example: PostgreSQLService CR and a PostreSQLCredential CR ) ).

As far as I remember, this was one of the use cases in some of the IBM operators which could be used as backing services.

@DhritiShikhar is working on this, and should have a PR this week.

[arthurdm]

awesome, thanks guys.

[sbose78]

Work is in progress #350

[Avni-Sharma]

#350 is merged. @DhritiShikhar shall we close this issue?

[DhritiShikhar]

Yes. I don't have rights to close the issue though.
