It was a great session (not necessarily what I expected, but still a great session), and I appreciated all the useful content. Andy, I would imagine the slides will be made available on vmworld.com shortly (although that is just a guess on my part).

Hopefully the slides will be made available online somewhere soon as I thought the guys did a great job of explaining the fundamentals of how BOSH works.

Apologies for rushing through a couple of the pieces, but I figured I could at least fill in the pieces here that I rushed through yesterday :) BOSH's CPI (Cloud Provider Interface) currently supports vSphere, AWS and OpenStack, but is abstracted in such a way that the community can support other IaaS layers by implementing 10 fairly basic functions (Start/Stop VM, Create Disk, Delete Disk, etc). For any Ruby developers keen on providing a CPI for other infrastructures, the base class can be found here: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh/blob/master/cpi/lib/cloud.rb The 4 commands I described, which are really the only four that need ran to deploy a BOSH release after it's been downloaded and the manifest yml file has been created, are: - bosh create release (This bundles/downloads all the external pieces and parts of a BOSH release) - bosh upload release (Uploads the release to BOSH) - bosh deployment [manifest.yml] (Points the BOSH CLI to the manifest file to refer to) - bosh deploy ("Go", tells BOSH to deploy the release) For anyone looking to learn more about BOSH, the BOSH and OSS-Docs Github repos are a great start (https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh and https://github.com/cloudfoundry/oss-docs), as well as the mailing lists which are very active (https://groups.google.com/a/cloudfoundry.org/groups/dir). Also anyone that had any questions on BOSH, outside of the mailing list, I'm more than happy to answer any I can. Feel free to reach out to me on Twitter at @BrianMMcClain Awesome write-up Scott!

BOSH’s CPI (Cloud Provider Interface) currently supports vSphere, AWS and OpenStack, but is abstracted in such a way that the community can support other IaaS layers by implementing 10 fairly basic functions (Start/Stop VM, Create Disk, Delete Disk, etc). For any Ruby developers keen on providing a CPI for other infrastructures, the base class can be found here: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh/blob/master/cpi/lib/cloud.rb

The 4 commands I described, which are really the only four that need ran to deploy a BOSH release after it’s been downloaded and the manifest yml file has been created, are:

- bosh create release (This bundles/downloads all the external pieces and parts of a BOSH release)

- bosh upload release (Uploads the release to BOSH)

- bosh deployment [manifest.yml] (Points the BOSH CLI to the manifest file to refer to)

- bosh deploy (“Go”, tells BOSH to deploy the release)

For anyone looking to learn more about BOSH, the BOSH and OSS-Docs Github repos are a great start (https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh and https://github.com/cloudfoundry/oss-docs), as well as the mailing lists which are very active (https://groups.google.com/a/cloudfoundry.org/groups/dir).

Also anyone that had any questions on BOSH, outside of the mailing list, I’m more than happy to answer any I can. Feel free to reach out to me on Twitter at @BrianMMcClain
