BOSH 101 - A Beginners Guide
summary
Walks through concrete BOSH pieces: BOSH director, CPI, agents, blobstore, monitor/EPM, releases, manifests and deployments, and shows how manifests map to instance groups and VMs. Recommends remote releases, storing secrets in Vault or CredHub, and at least three availability zones for data safety. Demonstrates ops workflow: compile releases to blobstore, deploy with ops files (order matters, ops files applied last wins), expects Cloud Foundry deploys to take ~45–90 minutes and reports anynines runs hundreds of instances successfully.
