bosh: Log in to the director.
$ bosh login -e ${environment}
try on your machine

The command "bosh login -e ${environment}" is used to authenticate and log in to a BOSH (Bosh outer shell) environment.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "bosh login": This is the main command to initiate the login process to a BOSH environment. It is used to authenticate the user and establish a session for managing the BOSH deployment.

  • "-e ${environment}": The "-e" flag is used to specify the BOSH environment to log in to. The "${environment}" is a placeholder for the actual environment name or alias that should be used. The environment can be defined in the BOSH configuration file or as an alias in the BOSH CLI.

Once the command is executed, it will prompt the user to provide their credentials (username and password) for the specified BOSH environment. If the authentication is successful, the user will be logged in and granted access to manage the deployment resources of the environment using BOSH commands.
