In our previous blog posts we described how to install Cloud Foundry on OpenPower systems with POWER system architecture (ppc64le). Now we have made some updates to the CF binaries (releases) for the POWER architecture. The updates include addition of prebuilt ppc64le buildpacks and ability to ssh into Diego containers.
New release versions for BOSH installation:
- Bosh release, download v261.2, see source
- Openstack CPI release, download v31, see source
- BOSH stemcell, download v3312
New release versions for Cloud Foundry Diego installation:
- CF release, download v248, see source
- Diego release, download v1.10.0, see source
- cflinuxfs2-rootfs release, download v1.97.0
- garden-runc release, download v1.2.0, see source
- routing release, download v0.147.0, see source
To use the latest features which are provided by mentioned releases, we updated CF Diego deployment manifest respectively, so it is possible to use them as samples.
New features
- Ability to ssh to containers, running in CF with `cf ssh` command
- Support for routing release to allow TCP port mapping
- Prebuilt buildpacks working on OpenPower are available from the box:
The following screenshots depict the output of the cf push process for Python app:
We are going to continue our work to support other buildpacks and setup CI pipelines to continuously build the latest versions for existing ones.
