Managing Multiple Clouds with a Single BOSH Deployment
summary
Demonstrates a proof‑of‑concept that runs multiple Cloud Foundry regions and different providers from a single BOSH director by adding a cloud entity to BOSH DB, using separate cloud config per region, tagging and uploading stemcells per provider, and compiling blobs over VPN. Implemented against OpenStack and AWS, deployments succeed asynchronously across two datacenters; remaining gaps are app data sync and HA failure handling. A blog and demo video with code details follow.
