Using the Cloud Foundry CLI in IBM Bluemix To Cloud Foundry applications I want to create and bind the Service.

Environment
OS:Windows10
cf version:6.21.1+cd086c8-2016-08-18
npm version:3.10.3

Procedure
Cloud Foundry applications already created from UI

1. Log in to the IBM Bluemix from the Windows command prompt

2. Example: Creating a "redis" service in cf create-service command

   cf create-service redis 100 test-redis
   

3. An error

   FAILED
   Service offering redis not found
   

Becomes the above-mentioned, an error message is no service of redis is output, It will not be able to create a service.

The first place it is not possible to create a service of redis from CLI, Or such as the service command specified redis is wrong.

Answer 1

The redis service is not available in the Bluemix Sydney region. You can check for all services available in the Sydney region using the following command:

$ cf marketplace

You can use the redis service in the US South or United Kingdom regions. To use the US South region run, set the API endpoint to:

$ cf api api.ng.bluemix.net

For United Kingdom:

$ cf api api.eu-gb.bluemix.net

You will have to cf login again after setting the new API endpoint. You may also have to create an organization and/or space if this is first time you login to these regions.
