Re: BOSH Manifest and directory_uuid


Tammer Saleh
 

We've had this problem as well, and discussed a couple of features in bosh
that could help:

1. Allow the user to tell the director what its name is, and use that in
the UUID field. and/or...
2. Allow the operator to mark a deployment as "protected," and only
require the UUID field in the deploy manifest when targeting such a
deployment.

Thanks Dmitriy, so if I “version control” a manifest, I’d have to keep
a different version for “prod” and another one for “staging”? Is there a
way to override it in the command line?

It's a safety feature so that people do not accidentally deploy
deployment with a same name to a wrong environment. For example if you have
staging and prod environments and both have cf deployment.

Team,

After reviewing the bosh.io site and other email list, I can't find a
good
reason on why does the manifest YAML file needs to have the
director_uuid in
the manifest. According to the docs found here:

http://bosh.io/docs/deployment-manifest.html#deployment

It is a "required" field. Is this so? Keeping manifests in version
control
will create a dependency on a single Director running. Is this by design?
Just looking for clarification more than a rant... :)
