30 Seconds to CF?

• We cheated a bit
• 30 seconds is for typing set-pipeline
• It’s more like 15 minutes

This is for you if:

You are …

• test-driving CF (different versions maybe?)
• building on top of CF (e.g. a tool)
• developing a CF component

Big Idea

minikube : kube :: this : CF

Demo

Why?

Dev speed

• Quickly spin up a dev environment
• Fast onboarding of new team members
• Less fear
  => broke it? N.P.!

It’s lightweight

• Keep your laptop clean
  • no need to run CF locally
  • your version / patch level on someone else’s hardware
• Cookie-cutter approach
  • Test environments by the dozen
  • Pets vs. cattle

Repeatable

• Yields repeatable dev environments
• Ship the config, not the cluster
  • Vagrant philosophy

How does it work?

• SCF + fissile
• Eirini
• Kubernetes
• Helm
• Concourse

UX

set-pipeline

• the only manual step
• takes the name of “the world”

It’s ready!

How to …

I need another CF

• Before:
  1. Install VirtualBox
  2. Install bosh (lite)
  3. Deploy
  4. Wait
  5. goto 4
• Now:
  • set-pipeline hello-world

I broke my dev env

Ideas

• Notification?
• Print details at the end of set-pipeline?
• Your ideas?

Similar Projects

• 1-click BOSH lite pipeline
• bosh-bootloader

Thanks!
