Cloud Foundry BOSH is an open source tool for release engineering, deployment, lifecycle management, and monitoring of distributed systems.

This repository is a Bosh Release, providing the necessary binaries and configuration templates for deploying a new Bosh Director instance, as instructed by some Bosh deployment manifest, to be applied by some Bosh CLI invocation or a pre-existing Bosh Director instance.

Bosh is deployed by Bosh, and in order to bootstrap a new Bosh server from scratch, the Bosh CLI acts as a lightweight Bosh server with the bosh create-env command. Please refer to this Quick Start installation guide for more details.
