7 Example CLOUDFOUNDRY BENEFITS BOSH provisions the entire datacenter Repeatable at any time No downtime Cloud Foundry Handles application scalability Tenant (Customer) modifiable URL Upgrade tool Uses the CF API Blue Green upgrade (0 downtime) Dynamically move/configure tenants Promotion process is fully automated Shellshock, OS Security vulnerability 1 We updated the stem-cell (OS) 2 Ran bosh deploy 16 CF environments updated (dev/test/pre-prod/prod) 3 16x30 VM s updated No down time Drank beer (optional) 7

8 CLOUDFOUNDRY BENEFITS WE DIDN T BUILD ANY OF THIS Monitoring Monitoring VMs Monitoring applications Resource scaling High Availability VM HA Application HA Log collection Health metrics Shellshock, OS Security vulnerability WE ONLY WANT TO BUILD APPLICATIONS 8

9 SPIFF GENERATION OF BOSH MANIFESTS 16 Deployments managed with auto generated manifests Core templates 16 Instance specific deployments Support for multiple networks Contribute to the community $> spiff merge cf-jobs.yml cf-network.yml vcenter.yml ci.yml dev.yml preprod.yml prod.yml ci_merged.yml dev_merged.yml preprod_merged.yml prod_merged.yml 9

11 GAPS WE CONQUERED OS hardening; Ubuntu patch version, ssh permissions, file access etc etc Deploying in multiple networks with firewalls CF/BOSH/DEA/Router/Services Spiff not setup for multiple networks Keeping up to date with latest CF release Converting v1 services to v2 services DR setup CF cli is constantly changing, but CF api is more stable We use the API for the upgrade tool Debugging applications in CloudFoundry (step through code) Filesystem options/type for persistent storage (swift) Filesystem size of /tmp is not configurable BOSH builds are more difficult because BOSH doesn t support artifactory as a BLOB store Managing multiple BOSH deployments Log files other than stderr/stdout Collecting them Limited disk space SPIFF manifests are harder to read by a human Spiff diff helps Application needs to report ready before ready for large application Router networking resources exhausted keep-alive disabled CF staging blobs not cleaned up properly CF routes not cleaned up properly WE ONLY WANT TO BUILD APPLICATIONS 11
