Basic release to perform administration operations on databases (e.g. RDS) used by the VMs of a Bosh deployment.
This intends to solve the problem of how to initialise external services like RDS to be used by VMs. For instance, we need to create some databases and roles on a PostgreSQL database to be used by different services (e.g. UAA) before we deploy the VM, but the RDS is accesible only from the same VPC and there is no previous VMs running in the VPC.
Its intention is to create databases and roles in pre-start
script. This job
can be colocated with the other services using these databases, and you can let
them race. The other jobs might fail starting, but Monit would restart them
immediately after.
See the jobs/init-db/spec
file for more details.
