`keep_unreachable_vms` is unrelated to compilation. Unreachable means that the bosh agent on the VM never connected to the director.

To keep compilation VMs, you want to set `reuse_compilation_vms` to true in the cloud config. https://bosh.io/docs/cloud-config/#compilation

Hi there,

Is there any way of preventing compilation VMs from being destroyed if components fail to compile? I would like to be able to look into compilation VMs for troubleshooting the failures.

I tried following https://starkandwayne.com/blog/how-to-lock-vcap-password-for-bosh-vms/ but wasn't sure where to put following section wrt `cf-deploy`:

bosh -e bosh-1 -d cf deploy cf-deployment.yml -v system_domain=abc.com  --vars-store=/tmp/cloud-foundry/bosh/director-creds.yml

Thanks for any pointers ...
