Overview
This charm provides the Cloud Foundry Droplet Execution Agent.
The Droplet Execution Agent (DEA) is a process that runs on Cloud Foundry VMs that host applications. A DEA subscribes to the messages that the Cloud Controller publishes when droplets need to be run. If the DEA host meets the runtime and RAM requirements of a droplet, the DEA responds to the Cloud Controller's request, receives the droplet, and starts it. Similarly, a DEA stops an application as requested by the Cloud Controller. A DEA keeps track of the instances it started and periodically broadcasts messages about their state using NATS.
The charm installs, configures and starts daemons (upstart jobs): - cf-dea - cf-dea-logging-agent - cf-warden - cf-dir-server
Usage
Obviously used in a bundle with other CF components. To deploy the DEA service:
juju deploy --to kvm:0 cf-dea
The CF's daemons actually start after all relations set.
Known Limitations and Issues
VirtualBox doesn't support nested virtualization so it is impossible to deploy the charm inside a VirtualBox machine. Juju doesn't destroy KVM machine on 'juju destroy-environment local' so you need to do it manually.
