About:
The bosh-cli is the official command-line interface for Cloud Foundry BOSH, a tool for deploying and managing distributed systems. It enables developers to interact with BOSH directors to deploy releases, manage virtual machines, and handle runtime configurations. This tool is essential for lifecycle management of complex cloud-native applications on IaaS platforms.
Key Features:
  • Deployment lifecycle management (deploy, delete, start, stop)
  • Interacts with BOSH Director API
  • Manifest generation and variable interpolation
  • Debugging and logging capabilities for deployments
  • Credhub integration for secrets management
Use Cases:
  • Deploying Cloud Foundry or Kubernetes distributions like TKGI
  • Managing infrastructure releases and stemcells
  • Troubleshooting failed deployments via logs and SSH access
Alternatives:
  • Terraform – Terraform focuses on infrastructure provisioning, whereas bosh-cli manages the application lifecycle and configuration management on top of that infrastructure.
  • kubectl – kubectl is specific to Kubernetes, while bosh-cli is a general purpose deployment tool for distributed systems that can target various infrastructures.
