Cakephp 3.0 ConnectionManager, getDataSource in Controller

Question

In CakePHP 3.0, what's the equivalent of calling getDataSource() from inside a controller (like $this->ModelName->getDataSource()in cakephp 2.x)?

I have tried this:

use Cake\Datasource\ConnectionManager;
$conn = ConnectionManager::get('my_connection');

Since this connection is connected already, why do I need to provide 'my_connection'?

How can I can get the DataSource from inside a Controller in CakePHP 3.0?

Thanks

Database\ConnectionManager::get() has been added. It replaces getDataSource()
