Issue/Introduction

If you are running Tanzu Application Platform and want to use a database service such as Greenplum that is part of Tanzu Data Intelligence, how can you set up that connection?

Resolution

Service Bindings are designed to facilitate connections between apps and database services in this context.

TAP has a services-toolkit which in conjunction with Service Bindings can be used to connect workloads to services running on TAP. Both services-toolkit and Service Bindings are installed via TAP profile installation.
