Option to retain server between deploys #17

Open drnic opened 9 years ago

The dev cycle for trying to create a working manifest for a bosh-init deployment can be saddeningly long - each bosh-init deploy will boot a VM, attach the disk, determine if job templates can be compiled. compile all packages AGAIN, and then see if jobs will start.

Perhaps can we have a deploy option to retain the server between deploys?

Its pretty odd that any time you need to make a config change that we would need to wait at least 20 mins for the whole VM to rebuild and recompile all the packages.

It seems reasonable to aim for something like this: bosh-init deploy manifest.yml for full redeploys bosh-init update manifest.yml for updating jobs on the director without rebuilding the whole director
