The Blacksmith Genesis Kit give you the ability to deploy on-demand services in Cloud Foundry, using the Open Service Broker API. These services will be backed by real VMs, running under the watchful eye of a dedicated BOSH director.

For more information on Blacksmith itself, check out the Blacksmith Project Page on Github and the Blacksmith BOSH Release Docs.

To use it, you don't even need to clone this repository! Just run the following (using Genesis v2):

# create a blacksmith-deployments repo using the latest version of the blacksmith kit
genesis init --kit blacksmith

# create a blacksmith-deployments repo using v1.0.0 of the blacksmith kit
genesis init --kit blacksmith/1.0.0

# create a my-blacksmith-configs repo using the latest version of the blacksmith kit
genesis init --kit blacksmith -d my-blacksmith-configs

Once created, refer to the deployment repo's README for information on creating new environments.
