deploy
Cloud Foundry

3. Why bosh_bootstrap
• Deploying Cloud Foundry on any
infrastructure is a non trivial and complex
task
• Requires lot of manual steps and
configurations
• This tool is an attempt to reduce the
manual config steps and get CF up and
running with 3-4 simple commands

4. Command Flow
• bosh_bootstrap uses Fog Gem to interface
with AWS/OpenStack to create MicroBosh.
• Uses SSH to execute rest of commands
after targeting Micro BOSH
