Overview

What is Cloud Foundry?

Cloud Foundry is an open platform-as-a-service (PaaS). The system supports multiple frameworks, multiple application infrastructure services and deployment to multiple clouds.

What is this component?

This repo contains the BOSH packages and jobs specifications for a sample Cloud Foundry service: echo service. The section below will walk you through how to deploy echo service into Cloud Foundry.

Deploy echo service with BOSH

Since current bosh supports deploying from multiple releases, deploying echo service is a little different from that before.

Step 1: clone this repo and make a bosh release

git clone git://github.com/cloudfoundry/vcap-services-sample-release.git  vcap-services-sample-release
cd vcap-services-sample-release
./update
bosh create release
bosh upload release

Step 2: customize your bosh deployment manifest

See example manifest

1. add the lines below under releases sections (Assume the name of the release created in step 1 is services-sample):

        - name: services-sample
          version: latest
    

2. append echo service into external_service_tokens under 'properties' section like this:

        external_service_tokens:
           oauth2: foooauth2token
           echo: changeechotoken
    

3. add below code under jobs section:

        - name: echo_node
          release: services-sample
          template: echo_node
          instances: 1
          resource_pool: infrastructure
          persistent_disk: 512
          networks:
          - name: default
            static_ips:
            - ***.***.***.*** # fit with your own network zone ip address
   
        - name: echo_gateway   # this gateway contact with legacy cc 
          release: services-sample
          template: echo_gateway
          instances: 1
          resource_pool: infrastructure
          networks:
          - name: default
   
        - name: echo_gateway2  # this gateway contact with ccng
          release: services-sample
          template: echo_gateway
          instances: 1
          resource_pool: infrastructure
          networks:
          - name: default
          properties:
            nats_props: nats2
            cc:
              srv_api_uri: ***  # fit with ccng service api uri, the value is under manifest section 'properties.ccng.srv_api_uri'
            supported_plans: ["free"]
            echo_gateway:
              cc_api_version: v2
              default_plan: "free"
            uaa_client_id: "vmc"
            uaa_endpoint: https://uaa.***  # fit with domain info, the value is under manifest section 'properties.domain'
            uaa_client_auth_credentials:
              username: *** # the username value is under manifest section 'properties.uaa.scim.users'
              password: *** # the password value is under manifest section 'properties.uaa.scim.users'
    

and add echo service gateway token under properties section:

<pre>
    echo_gateway:
      token: changeechotoken
      service_timeout: 15
      node_timeout: 10

    echoserver:
      port: 5002
</pre>

change resource pool size if necessary, the value is under manifest section resource_pools.infrastructure.size

When everything is done, fire bosh deploy to deploy echo service into Cloud Foundry.

Deploy echo service under ccng v2

Deploying echo service under ccng is the same as that under legacy CC. The difference is that to make echo service available, some additional steps are necessary. To achieve that, you should use the high version vmc and the vmc admin plugin:

gem install vmc --pre
gem install admin-vmc-plugin

login as the cc administator:

vmc login $ADMIN_USER --password $ADMIN_PASSWORD
vmc create-service-auth-token --provider core --token changeechotoken --label echo

$ADMIN_USER and $ADMIN_PASSWORD could be found in your bosh deployment manifest under section uaa.scim.users. It may take several minutes before it takes effect. Issue vmc info --services to make sure that echo service is available.

The value of token argument, here is changeechotoken, must be same with the value under manifest section properties.echo_gateway.token.
