These instructions are a mixture of two tutorials - Deploy BOSH on Google Cloud Platform and A Guide to Using BOSH.

1. I wanted my BOSH instance in the Cloud rather than hosted locally on Virtualbox
2. I wanted to test my BOSH instance with a simple application rather than an expensive Cloud Foundry deployment
3. After following Deploy BOSH on Google Cloud Platform, trying to deploy the smaller application described in A Guide to Using BOSH didn't work. This repository contains the BOSH v2 manifest that deploys successfully.

1. Follow the instructions as described here up to the 'Deploy other software' section.

I had to make the following change in Step 2 and 3 of 'Deploy Supporting Infrastructure')

hashicorp/terraform:light
to
hashicorp/terraform:0.9.9

In step 2 of the 'Setup' section, use the following region and zone (This avoids limitations in a free trial account):

export region=europe-west2
export zone=europe-west2-a

2. Following on from the guide in the previous step, you should already be logged on to the bosh bastion. If not, SSH on to the bosh bastion:

   gcloud compute ssh bosh-bastion
   

3. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/djfill/bosh-learn.git
   cd bosh-learn
   

4. Upload the Cloud Config:

   bosh2 -e micro-google update-cloud-config cloud-config.yml
   

   a. View the Cloud Config:

   bosh2 -e micro-google cc
   

5. Upload the Stemcell:

   bosh2 -e micro-google upload-stemcell https://s3.amazonaws.com/bosh-core-stemcells/google/bosh-stemcell-3445.11-google-kvm-centos-7-go_agent.tgz
   

   a. View the stemcells:

   bosh2 -e micro-google stemcells
   

6. Create a Release:

   bosh2 -e micro-google create-release
   

7. Upload the Release:

   bosh2 -e micro-google upload-release
   

   a. View the Release:

   bosh2 -e micro-google releases
   

8. Deploy:

   bosh2 -e micro-google -d learn-bosh deploy manifest.yml
   

   a. View the Deployments:

   bosh2 -e micro-google ds
   

9. View the instances:

   bosh2 -e micro-google -d learn-bosh instances
