Example BOSH deployments.

BOSH is really good for interacting with an existing cluster; I especially like the bosh ssh command, the bosh vms --vitals and the way deploy rolling updates to a running cluster resulting in zero downtime.

However, BOSH currently has no concept of "autoscaling" or "spot instances".

I think it would be wise to wait until these are supported (possibly via a BOSH CPI for Cloud Formation), before considering using BOSH to manage both our CloudFoundry cluster & our Logsearch cluster

Closed for the aforementioned reasons (as discussed in https://github.com/cityindex/logsearch-config/issues/59).
