Usage
IaaS-Specific Getting Started Guides
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.

contents |
bbl-state.json |
Environment name, and bbl version metadata |

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 down
with your IaaS user/account information.
In order to use bbl
in your concourse pipelines, the current supported way
for cf-deployment
is to use the
cf-deployment-concourse-tasks.
There is a work-in-progress concourse resource for bbl:
bbl-state-resource.
