Configuring a More Secure BOSH [I] - Saman Alvi & Dale Wick, Pivotal

As BOSH evolves, grows, and improves, it allows you to focus on making your deployments more secure. The addition of config server allows you to generate, store, and update credentials easily and securely for your deployments. It also allows you to share credentials between deployments, as it is possible to have hundreds for all components to talk to each other. It will also help prevent poor credential choices, which can create security breaches. This talk will go into details about how config server works, how credential generation and storage is handled, and how you can use the reference implementation to choose your own credential generation and storage strategy.
