Getting Started: CloudStack

This guide is a walkthrough for deploying a BOSH director with bbl on Cloudstack. Upon completion, you will have the following:

1. A BOSH director
2. A jumpbox
3. A set of randomly generated BOSH director credentials
4. A generated keypair allowing you to SSH into the BOSH director and any instances BOSH deploys
5. A copy of the manifest the BOSH director was deployed with
6. A basic cloud config

bbl creates and maintains the lifecycle of the CloudStack infrastructure, jumpbox and BOSH director. It creates a network, a router, a floating IP, a key pair, security groups, and security group rules on CloudStack. Prerequisite is that an CloudStack project, external network, and user already exist.

Create a Jumpbox and a BOSH Director

1. Export environment variables.

   export BBL_IAAS=cloudstack
   export BBL_CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT=https://cloudstack.example.org/client/api
   export BBL_CLOUDSTACK_ZONE=MY-ZONE
   export BBL_CLOUDSTACK_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
   export BBL_CLOUDSTACK_API_KEY=
   

2. Create CloudStack resources, jumpbox and bosh director.
