github cloudfoundry/bosh v258

latest releases: v280.1.11, v280.1.10, v280.1.9...
8 years ago

Reported problems:

  • Earlier versions of the Director erroneously applied instance group properties to addons. Addons only should see properties specified in runtime config. This v258 no longer exhibits old behaviour.
  • HM started to query /deployments/:name/instances API which sometimes causes high CPU usage in the Director since it performs large number of queries
    • One workaround until this problem is fixed is to re-run bosh deploy on your existing deployments

New Features:

  • Added --dry-run flag to bosh deploy that exits right before starting an actual deploy
    • Useful to validate that deployment manifest, releases, and stemcells are all correct
  • Added ability to tag VMs with arbitrary tags within a deployment via top level tags key
  • [beta] Support multiple persistent disks for each instance within an instance group
    • Persistent disks are considered unmanaged by the Agent so release jobs have to partition and format them
  • Added experimental --fix flag to bosh deploy to automatically recreate VMs that are not responsive
  • Added spec.ip for ERB templates for jobs to get their own IP
    • Operator can set networks to be addressable via default key to change which IP jobs see
  • Add support for OS-specific addons
    • Director allows to specify where addons are included based on deployment, OS and instance group names

Improvements:

  • Write Director events to syslog in addition to recording them into DB
    • Works great with cloudfoundry/syslog-release
  • Send env.bosh.group and env.bosh.groups to CPIs for automatic tagging, etc.
    • Used primarily for automatic creation of Azure availability sets and GCP security groups
  • Switched to using davcli in the Director to make blobstore access consistent with the Agents
  • Fixed HM Resurrector to bring back VMs that were successfully deleted but failed to be recreated
    • Switched HM to use /deployments/:name/instances endpoint
  • Avoid env.bosh.remove_dev_tools flag causing VM recreate
  • Allow Director to handle badly encoded UTF-8 data in CPI responses
  • Support percentages in canaries and max in flight update configurations
  • Fix addon properties handling when single addon references multiple jobs
  • bosh cck no longer shows empty VM cids in problem it reports
  • Avoid stopping / taking snapshots of stopped instances
  • Task can be cancelled when Director is waiting for the VM to be in specific state
  • Switched showing release version in bosh status

Version bumps:

  • Bump s3cli in the Director to latest
    • Adds support for server side encryption for S3
    • GCS support

Misc:

  • Continued working on config server support
  • Continued working on bosh CLI v2 integration test suite
