bosh-bootloader

---

This is a command line utility for standing up a CloudFoundry or Concourse installation on an IAAS. This CLI is currently under heavy development, and the initial goal is to support bootstrapping a CloudFoundry installation on AWS.

• Tracker

Guides

• Getting Started on AWS
• Deploying Concourse on GCP
• Deploying Cloud Foundry on GCP
• Advanced BOSH Configuration

Prerequisites

Install Dependencies

The following should be installed on your local machine

• BOSH v2 CLI BOSH v2 CLI
• terraform >= 0.9.1 (download here)

Install bosh-bootloader

bosh-bootloader can be installed by downloading the latest Github release.

Configure AWS

The AWS IAM user that is provided to bbl will need the following policy:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ec2:*",
                "cloudformation:*",
                "elasticloadbalancing:*",
                "iam:*"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Configure GCP

To allow bbl to set up infrastructure a service account must be provided with the role 'roles/editor'

Example:

gcloud iam service-accounts create <service account name>

gcloud iam service-accounts keys create --iam-account=<service account name> <service account name>.key.json

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding <project id> --member='<service account name>' --role='roles/editor'

Known Issues

Re-running bbl up Detaches Instances from GCP LBs

Due to bbl's use of Terraform to create infrastructure on GCP, re-running bbl up after deploying either CloudFoundry or Concourse will detach any instances that were attached to a load balancer created by bbl. At this time, the only known work-around is to recreate the affected instance using bosh recreate.

The bbl team is planning to address this issue in an upcoming release.
