Best practices around porting CF to RHEL/SLES?

Rishi Misra <misra.rishi@...>

Folks,

I am looking for some guidance around getting CF to work on RHEL/SLES.
From my limited knowledge of CF I have gathered the following:

   - CF only supports Ubuntu trusty
   - CF consists of CCNG/GoRouter/DEA/Health
   Manager/CLI/UAA/Loggregator/BOSH repositories
   - CF is deployed using BOSH on IaaS
   - CF can be deployed on a local system using BOSH lite
   - BOSH/BOSH lite deployment of CF consists of pushing components listed
   above in a virtual machines (based on stemcells)
   - BOSH uses trusty stemcells to deploy CF components (?)

My guess would be if I have to make this work in RHEL envt I would need to
do the following:

   - Investigate if BOSH RHEL stemcell can be created
   - For each CF repositories try to see if it compiles and runs
   (associated test suites) on RHEL
   - Create release/deployment manifest based on existing CF manifest
   - Use BOSH/BOSH lite to deploy
   - Debug failures
   - ...

Any tips greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Building RHEL 7 is very similar to building CentOS 7 and is supported by BOSH.

There are also official released CentOS 7 Stemcells:
http://bosh.io/stemcells/bosh-aws-xen-centos-7-go_agent <http://bosh.io/stemcells/bosh-aws-xen-centos-7-go_agent>

In order to use these you update what stemcell is being used in the CF Deployment Manifest.

I would recommend you get your deployment working with CentOS 7 while working on building your custom RHEL 7 stemcells. The BOSH repository has instructions within it for how to build custom stemcells: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh <https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh>

Specifically you want to look at the bosh-stemcell directory and use it’s Vagrantfile:

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh/tree/master/bosh-stemcell <https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh/tree/master/bosh-stemcell>

This is great .. thanks Wayne.

Does this mean  CF already supports CentOS7?  For some reason I thought it
was Ubuntu trusty all the way.  Is my understanding correct that when
creating Stemcells for CF, I must also ensure that all CF components must
first work on VMs with that Stemcell as its base?  By "work" I mean it at
least  compiles and successfully runs associated testcases?

Thanks again.

Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime can only be deployed at this point on Ubuntu
Trusty stemcell. All components work of ER work on CentOS stemcell except
the DEA (component that runs applications) due to certain incompatibilities
with how containers are managed. Once CentOS 7.2+ is released that includes
user namespacing, I believe there will be some effort to certify that full
ER runs on CentOS/RHEL.

RHEL stemcells can be built. See
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh/tree/master/bosh-stemcell for more
details.

Thanks Dmitriy - I guess with DEA not working there won't be any
functioning CF on CentOS/RHEL.

I wonder if SLES has better CF story at this point (in terms of porting)?
