BOSH CLI v2: the evolution of the BOSH command line interface
summary
A complete rewrite of the CLI in Go ships as a platform-native Golang-based single binary that combines bosh and bosh-init, shortens command latency, and avoids Ruby dependency hell. Commands are renamed for readability (for example upload-release), output gains machine-friendly modes like --column and --json, SSH/SCP and scripting get direct improvements, and manifest work moves to vars and ops files plus generated passwords/certificates with optional CredHub support. The new bosh-deployment workflow builds and deploys directors with compiled releases and secure defaults and interoperates with existing directors.
