bosh-lite region

[Aristoteles Neto]

Hi Guys,

I’ve been using bosh-lite locally on my machine with Virtualbox and it works great.

I was then asked if I could extend the concept to other people in the organisation, who may not have enough local resource to run it on their own machines. This meant that I needed to run it on AWS.

I tried setting things up in AWS, only to find that I was only able to deploy it by default to us-east-1 - but this means latency, etc, etc. Now that AWS supports AMI copying between regions, is there a chance you guys could improve the pipeline to provide bosh-lite images to all the regions (keen on ap-southeast-2)? While also making the region an environment selection pre vagrant up?

I also tried building a new image from scratch, only to be met by:

amazon-ebs: Started setting up instance bosh/0 > Applying
amazon-ebs: Failed setting up instance bosh/0 > Applying
amazon-ebs:
amazon-ebs: -----
amazon-ebs: Error: Provisioning deployment: Starting instance: Updating instance 0: Applying: Compiling templates bosh: Building job readers: Expected to find dep-template -> release-job record cpi
amazon-ebs: ——


I was able to get bosh-lite image copied down to Sydney, and launched eventually but this would make things a lot easier.

Did you provide cpi release tarball for the build script? Did you modify https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-lite/blob/master/templates/bosh_lite_manifest_template.yml in some way?

I agree it would be nice to have bosh-lite automatically published to all regions. I'll look into how much it would be to copy over AMI and set up vagrantcloud...

Thanks Dmitriy,

I provided a tar ball created from https://github.com/cppforlife/bosh-warden-cpi-release/blob/master/releases/bosh-warden-cpi/bosh-warden-cpi-18.yml.

I didn’t modify the manifest in any way.
