Hi Chris,

Very cool!

What is the thinking of having this as an additional release and not part
core BOSH as an experimental feature? Do you see this being moved into core
BOSH at some point?

im sure there is going to be one very soon but here is a commit on
diego-release that makes it optional configuration for a trial run (
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/diego-release/commit/27ee06
ecdfccb3d19026a3d7f7d36ad480def84e).

note that bpm is working under monit, not as a replacement.

Hi all,

We’ve been working internally on experiments to isolate BOSH jobs from
one another and providing a friendlier and less error-prone interface than
the current boilerplate bash control scripts. We call this project BPM
(initially BOSH Process Manager).

We’ve successfully written an internal proof-of-concept of this project.
It is able to run many of the Cloud Foundry runtime jobs (CC, Diego,
Loggregator, UAA) inside containers. BPM manages the lifecycle of the jobs,
isolates the jobs from one another, and restricts the job’s capabilities
such that they are only allowed to perform actions crucial to their
function. At the same time we were able to remove the vast majority of the
surrounding duplicative, error prone bash control scripts. We are now in
the process of rebuilding this proof of concept into the production-ready
end product.

You can follow the development here: https://github.com/pivotal-cf/
bpm-release

I’d like to propose the incubation of this project under the BOSH PMC.
We’d like to start by adding this functionality behind a feature flag to
the Diego release. Once this has been successfully completed then we’d be
interested in expanding the deployment if there is demand.

Thanks!
