Generic Steps for Cloud Foundry Deployment

  1. Create an environment and target the BOSH director with eval "$(bbl print-env)"

  2. bbl plan --lb-type cf --lb-cert <PATH_TO_CERT_FILE> --lb-key <PATH_TO_KEY_FILE> && bbl up. You can use existing certificate and key files, or generate new ones. See below for instructions on generating these files for Microsoft Azure.

  3. bosh deploy cf-deployment.yml -o operations/<MY IaaS> using the CF deployment manifest!

Appendix: Generating Load Balancer Key and Certificate Files for Microsoft Azure

To create Cloud Foundry load balancers for Microsoft Azure you must provide a certificate in the .pfx format:

export DOMAIN="<INSERT-DOMAIN-NAME-HERE>"
openssl genrsa -out $DOMAIN.key 2048
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key $DOMAIN.key -out $DOMAIN.crt
openssl pkcs12 -export -out PFX_FILE -inkey $DOMAIN.key -in $DOMAIN.crt

Save the password you entered when prompted by openssl to a file.

export PFX_FILE_PASSWORD="<INSERT-FILE-PATH-HERE>"
echo SuperSecretPassword > $PFX_FILE_PASSWORD

To bbl plan or bbl up you can provide the .pfx file and password:

export PFX_FILE="<INSERT-FILE-PATH-HERE>"
bbl plan --lb-type cf --lb-cert $PFX_FILE --lb-key $PFX_FILE_PASSWORD
