Product Master Common Connectivity to CPD

Many of the component services in the CP4D platform require connectivity to end points and data sources, currently each component service has its own connectors and way of entering credentials for their connectors. This creates a complex environment where:

  • Users cannot easily develop an e2e workload without entering connector info (credentials to endpoints) multiple times

  • The way the credentials are stored, managed and guarded differ across services

  • Users cannot get clear answer to how their passwords and credentials are protected as it differs across services

The common connectivity specification defines the platform standard for connectors which can be used across services.
