Cloud Foundry Growing Pains: Lessons Learned Keeping the Largest CF Environment Alive and Kicking
summary
Bluemix runs over a million registered users and 500k+ running apps and the team reports concrete ops lessons: use BOSH releases and external CPI to avoid custom stemcell hacks, expect terabytes of logs early, treat PowerDNS as a brittle single point, and plan for weekly CVE-driven stemcell updates. A homegrown monitoring tool called dr. automates audits; multi‑BOSH deployments reduce blast radius; snapshotting director disks and backup director DB often or recreating state via a dummy CPI reconstruction prove lifesaving.
