bosh-bootloader
Also known as bbl (pronounced: "bubble"), bosh-bootloader is a command line
utility for standing up a CloudFoundry or Concourse installation
on an IAAS. bbl currently supports AWS, GCP and Azure. Openstack and vSphere support are planned.

Prerequisites
Install Dependencies
The following should be installed on your local machine
Install bosh-bootloader using a package manager
Mac OS X
$ brew tap cloudfoundry/tap
$ brew install bosh-cli
$ brew install bbl
Usage
Generic getting started guide
-
Create the necessary IAAS user/account for bbl.
-
bbl up --iaas <MY IAAS>with IAAS credentials as flags or environment variables. -
eval "$(bbl print-env)"to target the director that you just created. -
bosh ssh,bosh deployorbosh statusshould all just work with no further information needed from bbl.
For detailed, IAAS specific instructions see your preferred IAAS's getting started guide:
Generic steps for Cloud Foundry deployment
-
Create an environment and target the BOSH director as described above
-
bbl create-lbs --type cfwith a certificate and key as flags or environment variables. (Continue to provide the IAAS credentials as flags or environment variables.) -
bosh deploy cf.yml -o operations/<MY IAAS>using the CF deployment manifest!
Managing state
The bbl state directory contains all of the files that were used to create your bosh director. This should be checked in to version control, so that you have all the information necessary to later destroy or update this environment at a later date.
| filename | contents |
|---|---|
bbl-state.json |
Environment name, and bbl version metadata |
bosh-deployment |
The latest bosh-deployment that has been tested with your version of bbl |
create-director.sh |
The BOSH cli command bbl will use to create your director when you run bbl up. See [docs/advanced]](docs/advanced.md#opsfile) for help with modifying this |
create-jumpbox.sh |
The BOSH cli command bbl will use to create your jumpbox. |
delete-director.sh |
The BOSH cli command bbl will use to delete your director. |
delete-jumpbox.sh |
The BOSH cli command bbl will use to delete your jumpbox. |
jumpbox-deployment |
The latest jumpbox-deployment that has been tested with your version of bbl. |
terraform |
The terraform templates bbl used to pave your IaaS. See docs/advanced#terraform for information on modifying this. |
vars |
This is where bbl will store environment specific variables. Consider storing this outside of version control. |
Tearing down an environment
Once you are done kicking the tires on CF and BOSH, clean up your environment to save IAAS costs:
-
You must first delete any deployments on BOSH. e.g.
bosh -d cf delete-deployment -
bbl downwith your IAAS user/account information.
