Description

Feature Request

The OSB API project is working on the next release of their specification. The new version, which is not yet released will support binding rotation. Service brokers will be able to indicate that a binding could be rotated. It will be nice improvement to the Cloud Foundry APIs to support this. The officially documented approach to rotate service credentials involves a downtime. They could be rotated also without a downtime following the approach documented in this issue using a blue-green deployment, but still many steps are required to rotate a service credential.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked OSB binding-rotation specification and the Cloud Foundry documentation and design issue referenced in the request. The issue names support for credential rotation during app push or restage; done would mean enabling that workflow without the documented downtime, but it does not identify files, tests, or an implementation entry point.
