BOSH Stemcell Support Policy

Morgan Fine
 

Hi CF Community,

The BOSH team is working to formalize a policy for Linux stemcell support. Up until now, the team has not had a policy on which stemcell lines are officially supported. We'll also be working to make this information available on bosh.io. 

Please find the details in the attached document.

That’s great. For us, Azure CPI team, the official support policy for BOSH stemcell is very important and useful.

Here are some questions. Looking forward to your guidance.

  1. Azure CPI has some logic to be compatible with some very old stemcell. If they are not supported any more, it’s safe for us to remove these logic. Correct?
  2. Does the policy ask CPI pipeline or bosh-cpi-certification to test all supported versions?
  3. What’s the support policy for Ubuntu Trusty? After April 2019, will Trusty still be supported officially?
  4. What’s the support policy for CentOS7? CentOS7 is an official BOSH stemcell, but CentOS7 can’t be deployed in cf-deployment. Correct?
  5. Is there a plan to publish support policy for Windows stemcell?

+1 !!

 

It would be great if you included a formal way to track which CVE s are covered by a given patch version for each stemcell line so it can easily (automatically) be tracked.

We would also like a formal way to track CVE's and which specific patch they affect and are fixed in. This would allow us to more easily demonstrate the value we get from BOSH and regular updates.

Thanks,

Dear Morgan,

 

I don't have the rights to comment in the attached document, so I guess I'll leave my comments here.

 

We should specifically mention how we're dealing with the case of switching operating systems. We're doing it now by switching from Trusty to Xenial, and we will do it again when we switch from Xenial to Bionic or 20.04 (whatever it will be called).

 

In cases like this, will ne do N and N-1 per operating system version (i.e. N and N-1 on Trusty as well as N and N-1 on Xenial) – at least for some grace period?

 

Thanks and warm regards

Marco
