Announcing cf-mysql-release v35


Marco Nicosia
 

On behalf of the Core Services team, I'm happy to announce that we've
recently published cf-mysql-release v35
<https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-mysql-release/releases/tag/v35>.

The major motivation for this release is to switch the manifest to use BOSH
links. This supports the work going on in cf-deployment
<https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-deployment>. We've also swapped out our
fork of route-registrar, preferring instead the official one in
routing-release <https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/routing-release>.
Due to the nature of the cf-deployment integration work, we may need to
spin a small release or two as we tweak how to expose those links.

Based on the results of the poll included with v34, few of you are locked
into using spiff. As a result of that, we continued to update spiff
templates in v35, but will no longer include them in future releases. To
deploy v35, I recommend you try cf-mysql-deployment v35
<https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-mysql-deployment/tree/v35>. Like
cf-deployment, we're learning as we go. Please send us lots of feedback.

Stay tuned for coming epics which will include tightening security and
tuning tweaks!

cf-mysql-release v35

*Notice:* Based on your responses to the v34 poll
<https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-mysql-release/releases/tag/v34>, this
will be the last release in which we include updated spiff templates. That
means that starting with v36, you'll want to check out cf-mysql-deployment
<https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-mysql-deployment> or continue building
your manifest by other means.

Also, using cf-mysql-deployment
<https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-mysql-deployment> just got easier with
the official GA
<https://lists.cloudfoundry.org/archives/list/cf-bosh(a)lists.cloudfoundry.org/message/L6GNJMAVZEJX7ZQFOINWBRO7NDG56Y5H/>
of the bosh v2 CLI <http://bosh.io/docs/cli-v2.html>!
Dependency Updates

-

cf-mysql-release should use MariaDB 10.1.22 [#141072891
<https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/141072891>]
-

Use routing-release instead of our own fork of route-registrar [
#135377279 <https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/135377279>]

For a long time, cf-mysql-release has used a fork of the route-registrar
library. To stay current, we now require routing-release
<https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/routing-release>. Please note
the README.md <http:///cloudfoundry/cf-mysql-release/blob/v35/README.md>
now covers this prerequisite.

*Note:* When switching to the canonical distribution of route-registrar,
we had to change the URL of the proxy. Where once you'd visit
https://proxy-0-p-mysql.SYSTEM-DOMAIN/
<https://proxy-0-p-mysql.SYSTEM-DOMAIN/>, now the instance index is
pre-pended: https://0-proxy-p-mysql.SYSTEM-DOMAIN/.
- As an operator I can navigate to a well-known URL to discover a list
of URLs to the proxy dashboards [#138180969
<https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/138180969>]

If you use cf-mysql-deployment, and include the register-proxy-route.yml
<https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-mysql-deployment/blob/v35/operations/register-proxy-route.yml>
operations file, the deployment will automatically include a proxy
aggregator: https://proxy-p-mysql.SYSTEM-DOMAIN/ which will include
links to the proxy dashboards, regardless of the naming scheme. This
feature is only available when using BOSH links.
- As an Operator, I'd like the docs to cover how to upgrade from v34 to
v35 which uses routing-release [#144161787
<https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/144161787>]
- cloudfoundry/cf-mysql-release #157
<https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-mysql-release/issues/157>: Unused
nats properties [#143997101
<https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/143997101>]

Some nats properties are no longer used by our jobs directly, but
routing-release still uses the same properties so deployment manifests do
not need to change.

Providing and Consuming BOSH links

Using BOSH links <https://bosh.io/docs/links.html> simplifies manifests and
manifest generation - every time a BOSH release uses a link, that's less
copying and pasting via template.
