Once the ECS Storage Broker has been installed, we will now show how to provision an ECS bucket using the sv-cat CLI tool.
First, verify if the ECS Storage Broker is connected to sv-cat. Use the below command, if you see something similar to below your ECS Storage Broker is working.
root@local:~/ecs-cf-service-broker# svcat get brokers
NAME NAMESPACE URL STATUS
+---------------------------+-----------+----------------------------------------+------+
ecs-service-broker-client http://ecs-service-broker.catalog:9090 Ready
Using the svcat describe parameter, it's possible to get more information about both the ECS Storage Broker including classes and plans.
root@local:~# svcat describe class ecs-bucket
Name: ecs-bucket
Scope: cluster
Description: Elastic Cloud S3 Object Storage Bucket
Kubernetes Name: f3cbab6a-5172-4ff1-a5c7-72990f0ce2aa

By default, the ECS Storage Broker ships with two plans, an unlimited or 5Gb limited bucket plan. To see plans which your Storage Broker is advertising use svcat marketplace.
root@local:~/ecs-cf-service-broker# svcat marketplace

Note: It is possible to modify the default Storage Plans during installation time. Information on this will be included in an appendix of this document in a later revision.
If you describe the plans, you'll see the description and whether any instances of that plan has been provisioned inside your ECS Cluster. The examples below show the output of both plans that were listed in the class description.
