OSB Insights | Sumble

What is OSB?

OSB stands for Open Service Broker. It is an open standard that allows applications running in cloud environments (like Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, and OpenShift) to easily discover, provision, and bind to backing services (like databases, message queues, and other infrastructure components) provided by different vendors. The OSB API defines a standardized way for service brokers to expose their services, enabling developers to consume those services without needing to know the specific implementation details of each service. In essence, it acts as a bridge between applications and the services they need, simplifying service management in cloud-native architectures.
