BOSH Errand Resource

An output only resource (at the moment) that will run errands.

Forked from Bosh Deployment Resources, Thanks Chris Brown and Alex Suraci

Source Configuration

• target: Optional. The address of the BOSH director which will be used for the deployment. If omitted, target_file must be specified via out parameters, as documented below.
• username: Required. The username for the BOSH director.
• password: Required. The password for the BOSH director.
• deployment: Required. The name of the deployment.

Example

- name: staging
  type: bosh-errand
  source:
    target: https://bosh.example.com:25555
    username: admin
    password: admin
    deployment: staging-deployment-name

- put: staging
  params:
    manifest: path/to/manifest.yml
    errand: smoke-tests

Behaviour

out: Deploy a BOSH deployment

This will upload any given stemcells and releases, lock them down in the deployment manifest and then deploy.

If the manifest does not specify a director_uuid, it will be filled in with the UUID returned by the targeted director.

Parameters

• manifest: Required. Path to a BOSH deployment manifest file.

• errand: Required. Name of errand to be ran.

• target_file: Optional. Path to a file containing a BOSH director address. This allows the target to be determined at runtime, e.g. by acquiring a BOSH lite instance using the Pool resource.

  If both target_file and target are specified, target_file takes precedence.
