With proven product-level integrations, Apigee and Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) have helped enterprises boost the consumption of their applications and microservices, modernize legacy systems, and chart a smoother path to cloud migration.
Today we’re excited to strengthen our partnership even more by announcing the general availability of Apigee Edge BOSH Installer for PCF for our Private Cloud 4.18.05 version. This is the latest BOSH installer that Apigee has released and marks another important step in our relationship with Pivotal.
Operators who deploy PCF use BOSH to install, manage, and maintain it (BOSH is an open-source project that unifies release engineering, deployment, and lifecycle management of cloud software). The latest installer makes it simple for operators to do the same for Apigee Edge Private Cloud 4.18.05. The new release is built to further simplify user experience and provide self-service functionality.
Offline installation
A key feature of the new release is offline install, which enables operators to install Apigee Edge VMs even without internet connectivity. The new installer enables you to specify a custom repo URL so that it can resolve CentOS and EPEL dependencies required to install Apigee Edge. You can find more details here.
Latest CentOS 7 stem cells support
This release also supports the latest CentOS 7 stem cells (version 3586). Stem cells are customized operating system images containing the filesystem for BOSH-managed VMs.PCF 2.1 and 2.2 support
