bosh:tldr:66c69

bosh: Upload stemcell.
$ bosh -e ${environment} upload-stemcell ${select}
try on your machine

The given command is specific to BOSH, an open-source tool for release engineering, deployment, lifecycle management, and monitoring of distributed systems.

Let's break down the command and understand its components:

  • bosh: It is the BOSH command-line interface (CLI) used to interact with the BOSH Director and perform various operations.
  • -e ${environment}: This option specifies the BOSH Director environment to which you want to upload the stemcell. ${environment} is a placeholder for the actual environment name or alias.
  • upload-stemcell: This is the command within the CLI used to upload a stemcell to the BOSH Director. A stemcell is an immutable operating system image that contains a bare minimum operating system and BOSH agent, allowing it to be used as a base VM for deployments.
  • ${select}: This is another placeholder representing the specific stemcell to be uploaded. The actual value would typically be the stemcell file path or URL.

By combining these components, the command instructs the BOSH CLI to connect to the specified BOSH Director environment and upload the specified stemcell to the Director for further use in deployments.
