Description

In the frame of RFC0038, we would like to extend bosh-bootloader with IPv6 to support dual stack networking.

This change starts with the Terraform scripts and enables the changes in BOSH to support dual stack networking.

Tasks:

  • Adapt the implementation in Terraform
  • Ensure that new deployments can be created IPv4 or dual stack
  • Allow existing deployments to be updated to dual stack from IPv4

A migration path for existing bbl deployments could also be something that is added via additional change later.

Research direction

Start with the Terraform AWS implementation and the Go IP and CIDRBlock types referenced in the completed tasks. Review the dualstack variable, NLB load-balancer templates, and generated BOSH ops-file configuration, while checking the linked pull requests and BOSH dependency. Done means new AWS deployments support IPv4 or dual stack with correct ingress and BOSH configuration.
