Spring Cloud Services supports Cloud Foundry service instance sharing. Here you will find instructions for sharing and unsharing a Spring Cloud Services service instance across orgs and spaces.

For more information about service instance sharing, see Sharing Service Instances in the Cloud Foundry documentation.

Sharing a service instance

To share an existing Spring Cloud Services service instance, run the cf share-service command. Provide the service instance name, the space with which to share the service instance, and the org with which to share the service instance (if the space is not in the currently-targeted org).

• To share a Config Server service instance named my-config-server with the john space in the current org, run:

  $ cf share-service my-config-server -s john
  

• To share a Config Server service instance named my-config-server with the charles space in the development org, run:

  $ cf share-service my-config-server -o development -s charles
  

Unsharing a service instance

To unshare a Spring Cloud Services service instance from a space with which it has been shared, run the cf unshare-service command. Provide the service instance name, the space with which the service instance should no longer be shared, and the org of that space (if different from the current org).

• To stop sharing a Config Server service instance named my-config-server with the john space in the current org, run:

  $ cf unshare-service my-config-server -s john
  

• To stop sharing a Config Server service instance named my-config-server with the charles space in the development org, run:

  $ cf unshare-service my-config-server -o development -s charles
