bosh: Ssh into virtual machine.
$ bosh -e ${environment} ssh ${virtual_machine} -d ${deployment}
try on your machine

This command is used to SSH into a specific virtual machine (VM) within a BOSH deployment. Here's what each component of the command does:

  • bosh: This is the BOSH command-line interface (CLI) tool. It allows you to interact with a BOSH director and manage deployments, VMs, and other BOSH resources.

  • -e ${environment}: This flag specifies the BOSH environment or director to connect to. The ${environment} variable is typically replaced with the name or alias of the environment you want to target.

  • ssh: This sub-command of bosh is used to establish an SSH connection to a VM.

  • ${virtual_machine}: This represents the name or identifier of the specific VM you want to SSH into. It can be the actual VM name or an alias.

  • -d ${deployment}: This flag specifies the deployment in which the target VM resides. The ${deployment} variable is typically replaced with the name or identifier of the deployment you are working with.

By combining all these components, the command allows you to remotely access a VM within a BOSH deployment using SSH. The exact syntax may vary depending on the specific BOSH version or deployment configuration you are working with.
