What is AWS Service Broker?

The AWS Service Broker is an open source project which allows native AWS services to be exposed directly through third party application platforms, such as Red Hat OpenShift, VMware Tanzu, SUSE Cloud Application Platform, and Kubernetes. The Broker provides integration of AWS services directly within the application platform. As customers continue to extend applications into the cloud, leveraging a consistent on-premises and cloud platform helps manage resources through a familiar interface across both environments. The AWS Service Broker allows APN Partners to integrate AWS services directly into their solutions. Customers can then deploy AWS services without leaving the application platform of choice.
