Automate Your Life with BOSH Bootloader - Genevieve L'Esperance & Evan Farrar, Pivotal

Well, actually, you need all this other stuff and it won't really change your life, but maybe your life as a Cloud Foundry operator.

In our talk we will illustrate how to bootstrap Cloud Foundry with bbl and concourse. Starting with a blank IaaS, we'll describe how to get your first BOSH director running concourse, then how to configure concourse to make more BOSH directors running CF, and finally how to configure concourse to update everything (including concourse!) This talk will focus less on hands-on demonstration and more on the philosophy for using these tools in your production deployment.
