Introducing bosh-workspace: how we deploy all things BOSH
summary
bosh-workspace is a lightweight manifest/templating layer that merges upstream CF templates with curated overrides so teams can run smaller clusters (examples show Cloud Foundry on ~6 VMs instead of ~20) and keep per-environment diffs manageable. Workflow uses spiff for merging, a Concourse pipeline to stage candidate releases across three BOSH environments, and an automation step to export compiled packages so other BOSH directors never compile. Claims: protects production, survives frequent churn (12 CF releases/4 months, ~500 commits), and demonstrably deploys through the pipeline.
