Matrix compatibility automation about pcf-pipelines HOT 4 OPEN

We have created an issue in Pivotal Tracker to manage this. Unfortunately, the Pivotal Tracker project is private so you may be unable to view the contents of the story.

The labels on this github issue will be updated when the story is started.

from pcf-pipelines.

pcf-pipelines is deprecated, and will be archived before the end of April. The replacement will be the Pivotal product platform automation docs.pivotal.io/platform-automation. It is built primarily on om and offers more stability/configurability than pcf-pipelines.

Hi @kcboyle
Great news but I thinked from the website, PA was to maintain and not build a new env.

Ops Manager vs Platform Automation for PCF
Ops Manager manages PCF operations manually. Platform Automation for PCF lets you automate the process.
Ops Manager lets you install and configure PCF and PCF products manually. Its UI takes you through the configuration decisions or changes that you need to make in situations such as:

• Installing PCF for the first time.

But I saw too on the website you can create your director into a docker directly.
Did you get some example, for a new installation using platform automation?

Platform Automation can absolutely be used to deploy new Ops Managers, yes. The create-vm task does this.

Unlike pcf-pipelines, with Platform Automation you need to build out your pipeline yourself.

http://docs.pivotal.io/platform-automation/v2.1/reference/pipeline.html#installing-ops-manager-and-tiles (Line 199+) gives an example of how you can use the create-vm task in a pipeline.

Another difference is that Platform Automation does not maintain terraform templates. We recommend using the terraforming-* repos that the Pivotal infrastructure team manages. These repos are actively updated, and eliminates the problem of out of date templates in pcf-pipelines. To use these repos, it requires you to maintain your own override.tf for the pieces you cannot consume.
