Generic steps to a Cloud Foundry deployment

1. Create the necessary IAAS user/account for bbl.

2. bbl up with IAAS credentials as flags or environment variables.

3. bbl create-lbs --type cf with a certificate and key as flags or environment variables. (Continue to provide the IAAS credentials from Step 1 as flags or environment variables.)

4. eval "$(bbl print-env)" to export environment variables for the bosh-cli and to create an SSH tunnel to the BOSH director for Step 5.

5. bosh deploy with a CF deployment manifest!

To tear down load balancers, run bbl delete-lbs.

To tear it all down, run bbl destroy.

Note: You must delete your BOSH deployments before running bbl destroy.
