No, it does not. It's geared towards experimentation.

I tried it out, it completed in 16 minutes with no issues!

I’ve sent some feedback to your trycf e-mail address.

Good stuff!!

FYI - I saw this on commute to work and checked out the site on my mobile and the SW logo floats over all the content.

Anyway, looking forward to trying later today!

Tried this out and it works great. I am just curious about IDE integration. I tried to add the API URL as a Cloud Foundry Account in Eclipse but it doesn't want to work. When I go to "Validate Account" I get the following error:

Client error: Error performing Cloud Foundry operation: I/O error on GET request for "https://api.<aws ip>.xip.io/info":Certificate for <api.<aws ip>.xip.io> doesn't contain CN or DNS subjectAlt; nested exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Certificate for <api.<aws ip>.xip.io> doesn't contain CN or DNS subjectAlt.

Any way to get around this issue?

Scott, 

Trycf does not deploy with official SSL certs, self-signed only, here is another thread discussing working around this... hopefully it helps?

What is the easiest way to update the ssh key for the instance that is created? I see that the instance is associated with the trycf key pair. There is a workaround such that I can get SSH access to the box (unmounting and remounting EBS volume and then changing keys) but I was wondering if there is a more convenient way to get access to the instance.

Thanks

The latest version of trycf now sends you the keypair it generated. Hopefully this addresses the question?

It only sends the private key, and there's a secret so you can't
actually ssh with it unless you have the secret. Or am I missing something?

There should be no secret. Are you sshing via ssh -i trycf.pem ubuntu@<elastic_ip>? Also pem file need chmod 600 trycf.pem. Let me know if that helps.

Yes, that works. Thanks for detailed steps.

Another question (maybe an FAQ but not on the website): I deployed a few
apps and the disk filled up (file system / is 100% full, nearly all in
/opt/bosh), so the instance died and I could not resurrect it. Any ideas
on strategies for prolonging the life of the system?

Do we need to perhaps grow the rootfs? I recall another thread on bosh mailing lists about such a thing.

Hi,

I would like to try  Try Cloud Foundry and I wanted to know what kind of account I should have in AWS ? What roles/privilages should I have in my AWS account ?

Thanks,

Gowri

[Wayne E. Seguin]

Hi Gowri!

You need an account which has access to EC2 in order to launch instances and create elastic IPs.

Once you have that generate aws key/secret for this account and you can use those + your email on the trycf site where it will spin up a single instance with CF running for you to poke around with and see what's running / push an app etc...

[Dr Nic Williams]

Good question. Off the top of my head your AWS account needs to be able to:

* create EC2 instance

* create security group

* create elastic IP

[Gowri LN]

Hi Dr Nic and Wayne E Seguin,

Thanks for the information. I will try Cloud Foundry as soon as possible :)
