In this post, we’re going to use Genesis to deploy Cloud Foundry. We will make use of some of Genesis’s cool features to generate unique credentials for each deployment, and Vault to keep the credentials out of the saved manifests. We will do this on BOSH-Lite, but templates exist to easily deploy to AWS with
If you’ve ever deployed Cloud Foundry via BOSH, you know how complicated BOSH’s deployment manifests can be – thousands of lines, many properties, many of which are repeated. This problem gets compounded when you start to host multiple copies of your BOSH deployments, such as for a sandbox, preproduction, and prod environment. Many of these

But what if you want to run bosh-lite on vSphere or GCP or Azure or SoftLayer or any other place for which you have
Stark & Wayne’s Homebrew tap has been around for a little while, with only spruce. We’ve added a couple new things today to make life easier with managing deployments and credentials, safe, and genesis. Safe safe is a wrapper around Vault, written by James Hunt. It offers a lot of niceties to pick up where
