Consul BOSH Release v1.8.0

Features

• Bump Consul to the latest version 1.20.1

• Bump BPM to v1.4.4 in the standard deployment manifest.

Caveats

• Poor support for configuring local services to check. Indeed, we estimate that you should favor the native BOSH DNS features for service discovery.

• Scaling-in from 3 nodes down to 1 node implies a short downtime (10-20 seconds) while BOSH re-configures the only remaining node.

Consul BOSH Release v1.4.0

Features

• Added new smoke-tests job. Smoke tests run on each server nodes and verify that all peers are alive and reachable.

• Bump Consul to the latest version 1.8.5

• Bump BPM to v1.1.9 in the standard deployment manifest.

Notice

• When using tls.ca_bundle, the tls.cert.ca doesn't need to be added to the CA bundle anymore. By design here in this BOSH Release, the tls.cert.ca is always a trusted CA. If you were explicitly adding the tls.cert.ca to the tls.ca_bundle (because you were forced to, in order for the BOSH DNS health check to properly work), then you don't need to do this anymore. Please update your deployment manifests accordingly.

• Poor support for configuring local services to check. Indeed, we estimate that you should favor the native BOSH DNS features for service discovery.
