You might not be deploying and maintaining distributed systems like Kubernetes, Etcd, Consul or Mariadb clusters. Why? Because it’s a hard task, with no obvious tool to simplify it.

For those who do, think about how you deploy and maintain those systems. Most of the time it starts with lots of “ssh” and “apt-get”, and then even more “vim”. At best, this “day 1" effort is captured in Ansible playbooks, and versioned in Git.

But what about “day 2”? What about scaling up, upgrading, scaling down? With little or no downtime? What about OS upgrades? What about moving to GCE in order not to stick with AWS only?

Even when using widespread tools like Ansible, those challenges turn into nightmares. Playbooks grow like hell, become incredibly complex, and are hard to maintain.

That's where BOSH comes into play. Five years after being open sourced, BOSH 2.0 provides an unparalleled experience when managing the deployments of complex distributed systems.

BOSH is tailored for that. Deploying and maintaining those systems that have to be up 24/7, all along the lifecycle. From source code to deployment, through any upgrades or scaling, all the way until decommissioning.
