BOSH Deployment Event Resource

A Concourse resource to trigger pipelines based on create/update/delete deployment events on a BOSH Director. The main use case is to trigger backup pipelines whenever there are deployment changes.

Known Issues

This resource will emit metadata which lists deployment changes. However, due to Concourse's architecture it may not perfectly reflect the content of the backup. This is because the metadata is collected during resource GET but backup is performed by your pipeline later (how much later depends on multiple factors, including what steps are there in your pipeline). Therefore some tasks can complete between the moment GET was executed and when the actual backup was taken and therefore the backup can contain changes not listed in the metadata.

Source Configuration

Field	Required	Type	Description
target	Y	String	BOSH Director URL (eg. https://192.168.50.6:25555)
client	Y	String	BOSH client (eg. admin)
client_secret	Y	String	BOSH client's secret (password)
ca_cert	Y	String	BOSH Director CA Cert (as you would provide for BOSH CLI)
excluded_deployments	N	Array	Deployment names that should be ignored (eg. ["bat", "dummy"])

Behavior

Plan

This resource will only trigger your pipeline. You should have another task that perform the actual backup. Take a look bbr-pcf-pipeline-tasks for an example.

jobs:
- name: backup
  plan:
  - get: deployment-changes
    trigger: true
  - task: actual-backup-task
    ...
