Bits Service

Please note: the Bits-Service is not actively maintained anymore. More information.

The bits-service is an extraction from existing functionality of the cloud controller. It encapsulates all "bits operations" into its own, separately scalable service. All bits operations comprise buildpacks, droplets, app_stashes, packages and the buildpack_cache.

The API is a work in progress and will most likely change.

Supported Backends

Bits currently supports WebDAV and the following Fog connectors:

AWS S3
Azure
Google
Local (NFS)
Openstack

Development

The CI config is in the bits-service-ci repo.

Additional Notes

It can be used standalone or through its BOSH-release.
