Issue with k8s.io/docs/tasks/service-catalog/install-service-catalog-using-sc/

[ingenthr]

This is a Bug Report

Problem:

After getting "sc" tool, I then had to install cfssl and cfssljson. Those dependencies aren't listed. Chances are they were just already installed on the author's machine. It will fail thusly:

$ sc check
Dependency check failed
Error: cfssl,cfssljson commands not found in the PATH

Proposed Solution:

Page to Update:
Update the page to include these dependencies and commands.

$ go get -u github.com/cloudflare/cfssl/cmd/cfssl
$ go get -u github.com/cloudflare/cfssl/cmd/cfssljson

I'm not sure whether or not https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/service-catalog/install-service-catalog-using-sc/ should stay given that #20232 is cleaning up third party content, and sc is fairly closely tied to GCP.

My gut feeling based on #13017, the content guide, and doc-policies-for-third-party-content is that https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/service-catalog/install-service-catalog-using-sc/ should go.

It's OK to link from https://k8s.io/ to a page that explains how to use sc to set up the Service Catalog extensions, and it's fine to bring that target page up to date.

I'm decided. https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/service-catalog/install-service-catalog-using-sc/ should go.
@ingenthr this might not be quite what you'd hoped for - sorry!

Thanks for the update. The only thing I'm confused by is you said "sc is fairly closely tied to GCP". We've been using service brokers and service catalog as something neutral and I did come across docs that indicate GCP has deprecated service catalog.

In any case, I respect your change/decision. I'm just trying to fit Service Brokers and Service Catalog into whether or not it's something one should rely on. I know you can't answer that question though. :)

Installing Service Catalog? Fine. Installing it with sc? Problematic, because sc is fairly closely tied to GCP. See issue #13017.

[sftim]

I'd be happy to see a replacement page go up that doesn't mention sc at all but does cover how to set up Service Catalog, talk OSBAPI, try it out, etc.

[ingenthr]

Oh, I see! Thanks for the clarification.
