My team is deploying an application using Cloud Foundry and Bosh (these tools are required by a party outside the dev team, so they're non-negotiable). We're not familiar with bosh, and we saw that there are a lot of options to deploy it.
We need to deploy our application on our own local cluster, so we can't use AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. We also don't want to have to learn an IaaS given that we have limited time. Bosh-lite seems the easiest, but running a VM seems wasteful, and we're not sure how useful it will be as we scale our application.
Given that we want to deploy Cloud Foundry on a local cluster, what is the best Bosh deployment option for us?
Independently of running Cloud Foundry on premise and/or in the cloud, BOSH requires to delegate to most of the deployment to a 3rd party CPI component (like AWS, GCE,...).
How is your local cluster managed?
May be you could have a look at this RackHD CPI implementation, and look at RackHD for hardware management and orchestration.
