Re: upload custom windows stemcell issue
Danny Berger
Hi, Without seeing the full error message, you may want to start by making sure that the ephemeral disk of your director is sufficiently large enough to receive the large stemcell file (+ some overhead, and it might store an additional copy of the image on disk while it's processing). If increasing the size of ephemeral disk doesn't help, can you please provide the full error message that you're seeing? Danny

upload custom windows stemcell issue
Atil Sensalduz
Hi folks,
When I was trying upload custom windows server 2012R2 stemcell I got the error like this: image-tar: disk1.vmdk: wrote only 7680 of 10240 bytes. My stemcell tar file size is 12 GB. I have increased client_mac_body_size in the ngnx.conf and blobstore.conf at the director. Which did I stick in the limitation? best regards

Re: Can't renew bosh-director certificate
Jan-Henrik Christophersen <jan@...>
Turns out I didn't regenerate the "default_ca". After regenerating all of them the deployment worked. I'll leave this up hoping it will help someone else if they encounter this.

Can't renew bosh-director certificate
Jan-Henrik Christophersen <jan@...>
Hello all,
we failed to renew our director and mbus certificate before they expired and wanted to do that now by using the create-env command. I removed the "director_ssl" and "mbus_bootstrap_ssl" sections and used bosh int with the --vars-store flag to regenerate them. I've manually checked that the certificates are valid for another year. To deploy this change, I ran the bosh create-env command but I am now running into this issue: Command: ``` bosh create-env bosh-director/bosh.yml
--state=xxx/state.json
--vars-store=xxx/credentials.yml
-o bosh-director/cpi.yml

Re: Which OpenStack version is supported by Cloud Foundry?
Marco Voelz
Hey,
Thanks for pointing out that the docs at per https://bosh.io/docs/init-openstack/ are outdated. We will fix that hopefully soon and link to the correct documents. The information at https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-openstack-cpi-release#supported-openstack-versions is correct: we test against the officially supported versions of OpenStack.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Warm regards Marco
From: <cf-bosh@...> on behalf of R M <rishi.investigate@...>
Folks,
I am trying to determine which version of OpenStack is supported by Cloud Foundry. As per https://bosh.io/docs/init-openstack/ it mentions Liberty/Mikata/Newton as being supported and actively tested. Does this still hold as all of the mentioned releases are EOL?
As per https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-openstack-cpi-release#supported-openstack-versions - it mentions upstream OpenStack policy which seems to contradict with what is listed on bosh.io.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Reminder about our CoC and a change to the slack configuration
Chip Childers
All, Over the weekend, there were several reports of inappropriate content being shared within the CF community's slack team in various channels. These messages have been removed and the accounts that posted them have been disabled. We'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that we take breaches of our code of conduct very seriously. Our code of conduct can be found here: https://www.cloudfoundry.org/code-of-conduct/ While these occurrences were likely caused by people outside of our community taking advantage of the fact that our slack instance is open to everyone, it's important for community members to help ensure that we have a welcoming and inclusive environment. If you see any inappropriate content posted to slack or have any code of conduct concerns, we ask that you reach out to the CFF via conduct@.... We also ask that those that have administrative access to the slack team help with policing when / if they see something. If you do have administrative access and see inappropriate content, please help by (1) deleting the messages, (2) capturing a screenshot of the offending content and (3) notifying the CFF staff at conduct@.... Also note: due to reports of similar activity in other community slack teams having included tagging @channel and @here in postings of inappropriate content, we have disabled the use of those for non-admin users. This is to reduce the impact of any bad actor's actions. Please reach out to me directly (cchilders@...) or the conduct@ email address if you have any questions or concerns. Chip Childers, CTO Cloud Foundry Foundation

Re: Moving BPM out of Incubation
Christopher Brown
I work on it 1-2 days per week. BPM v1 is pretty much feature complete and I anticipate that most of the work from now on will be refinements.
At some point we'll start seriously considering what the next steps for v2 are. At that point I expect the time spent on it and the feature work to ramp back up again. Thanks and all the best, Christopher

Re: Moving BPM out of Incubation
Marco Voelz
Dear Christopher,
Thanks for the proposal! Sorry for not following up on this sooner. A question which currently comes to my mind given the proposed transition to an 'active' project is: How active is BPM nowadays? What does the current BPM team look like and how much time do the team members spend on BPM?
I'll reach out to the individual PMC members and get their vote on the issue in the next week.
Thanks and warm regards Marco
From: <cf-bosh@...> on behalf of Christopher Brown <cbrown@...>
Hi everyone,
We'd like to propose moving the BPM project from the incubator into general availability during the next BOSH PMC meeting.
bpm-release version 1.0 was released in November last year and is being used by many releases to provide a consistent and isolated sandbox environment for BOSH jobs.
What do you think?
Thanks, Christopher

We want to have a couple of scheduled talks so that potential attendees have some certainty about what knowledge will be imparted upon them. Other than that, we'll be allowing plenty of time for open space discussions (more than in Basel!).
In Basel last year a whopping 20% of all summit attendees came to the Unconference, so it's a great opportunity to engage your peers in conversation and learn from each other. Whilst
SAP are already sponsors, we're looking for more - so if you want a way to reach a large portion of the summit audience directly, please get in touch.
We're also bringing the Cloud Foundry Pub Quiz to North America for the first time - expect beer, rubbish jokes, obscure trivia, and lively debates about whether the questions make sense!

Hi BOSH community! When Marco, Morgan and myself started in our roles in the BOSH project management committee (PMC), one of our primary objectives was to give the community more visibility into our roadmap. It took us a bit more time than expected, but we finally put together a document that explains our vision and strategy for BOSH. It is my pleasure to finally share it with you today. You can access it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pa-d7aC707dK9vvZUYIu9iytYzM9oM8YK-0M4vTp1rA/edit?usp=sharing By making this document public, we hope to start a conversation with you. We wish to make sure we are building the right features for our users. This will be impossible without your comments and suggestions. Please let us know what you think. Priorities evolve over time. A roadmap is never set in stone; we want to evolve ours according to your feedback. We aim to publish new versions of the document on a regular basis to let you know where we are headed.

Re: [CAUTION] [cf-bosh] CF BOSH PMC: BOSH Core Europe Call for Nominations
Marco Voelz
Dear Friends of BOSH,
SAP is nominating Felix Riegger as PM for the BOSH Europe Team. Felix has been a developer in the team since 2015 and has been pairing with me for the last few weeks to guarantee a smooth transitioning.
Please send any other nominations directly to me or in reply to this message no later than 23:59 GMT on Thursday, December 20, 2018.
Warm regards Marco
From: <cf-bosh@...> on behalf of Marco Voelz <marco.voelz@...>
Dear Friends of BOSH,
I'm rotating into a different role within SAP, which means I'm stepping down from the BOSH Core Europe PM position. Therefore, the BOSH Core Europe team operating out of Walldorf, Germany, has an opening for its PM. Please send nominations directly to me or in reply to this message no later than 23:59 GMT on Thursday, December 20, 2018.
At the same time, I'd like to stay as BOSH PMC lead. A big part of my new role at SAP is concerned with defining and shaping an opinion about the future of BOSH, which should fit nicely to the PMC lead position. If you have any concerns about this, please don't hesitate to contact me.
If you have any questions about the role or the nomination process, as described in the CFF governance documents (https://www.cloudfoundry.org/governance/cff_development_operations_policy/), please let me know.

Re: Telemetry within BOSH
Damzog Jochen (CI/OSC1)
Hi Marco and Mike,
We have since long time a requirement that is similar. I have noted it down some time ago:
Subscription mechanism for eventsbosh does have a notion of events, see http://bosh.io/docs/events. These events will be fired on each activity taken by the director o.a. deployments, creation and deletion of vms. These events could very well be used to trigger operations outside of bosh to either prepare or complement the action taken by the director. For example we would like to use these events to trigger creation or deletion of firewall configurations. In order to use events to trigger external action we require to have a mechanism to subscribe for these events. There are multiple ways to achieve this. For example, the director could forward these events to a messaging system (like rabbitmq) or it could offer a mechanism to register webhooks. For our use case of setting up FW rules it would be useful to configure a synchronous coupling between the director action and the external action to ensure FW rules are applied before a particular vms is started. This feature, however, should remain configurable if implemented because many other use cases will probably prefer to be executed asynchronously.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
Von: cf-bosh@... <cf-bosh@...>

Hey folks,
I have an interesting use case in front of me that I’m trying to figure out how to approach both sanely as well as sustainably. I have a use case where I want highly structured telemetry data from the BOSH director for downstream analytics. My target goal of this use case is to have a comprehensive and clear perspective into where BOSH is spending it’s time. I could see any type of telemetry data being immensely useful for operators and CFF developers as it can help give insight into where improvements can be made.
Currently I’m exploring 3 options:
Looking across the industry, telemetry is very prevalent, and it’s almost always an opt-in model, so anything I explore . Since I haven’t seen anything like this discussed in the mailing lists before, I wanted to surface my explorations to get others’ thoughts and opinions on telemetry within BOSH.
