Summary

This RFC proposes adding official support for Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped infrastructure to the Cloud Foundry ecosystem under the Foundational Infrastructure (FI) Working Group.

As discussed in the TOC meeting and requested in #1610 (comment), this RFC covers:

  • The creation of one new repository:
    • cloudfoundry/bosh-gdc-cpi-release
  • Contributing Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped stemcell support (definitions, OS image stages, and packaging scripts) directly into the existing cloudfoundry/bosh-linux-stemcell-builder repository to keep Linux stemcells aligned and in sync.
  • A long-term joint maintenance plan between Google (primary maintainer) and SAP (co-maintainer).
  • A unit-testing and standard CI/CD scope requiring zero dedicated infrastructure or compute cost for Google or the Cloud Foundry Foundation.

Why use a separate repo for the stemcell? We currently use bosh-linux-stemcell-builder to build all the other infrastructure linux stemcells, which keeps them in sync.
