Create a service instance and binding

Create a LogDNA service instance and binding. This will create a LogDNA account for you through Manifold using the quaco free plan:

kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: servicecatalog.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ServiceInstance
metadata:
  name: tutorial-logdna
spec:
  clusterServiceClassExternalName: logdna
  clusterServicePlanExternalName: quaco
EOF

kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: servicecatalog.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ServiceBinding
metadata:
  name: tutorial-logdna-binding
spec:
  instanceRef:
    name: tutorial-logdna
EOF

The service binding will create a secret holding configuration values for the service:

kubectl describe secret tutorial-logdna-binding

Name:         tutorial-logdna-binding
Namespace:    default
Labels:       <none>
Annotations:  <none>

Type:  Opaque
