What is the Bits-Service?

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

Bits-service extracts Cloud Foundry’s bits handling out of the Cloud Controller into a standalone microservice with a domain-specific HTTP API, deployed as a BOSH-managed VM and implemented currently as a Ruby implementation. It stores packages, droplets and buildpack cache on existing blobstores (S3, Swift, NFS) and uses sha-1 resource matching to avoid reuploads. It ships in CF 2.41 behind a feature flag, preserves blobstore layout so no migration is required, and needs CLI/stager changes to realize full client-to-bits uploads.
