Docs / highlight that there is no need to have BOSH CLI #68

Closed alexvasseur closed 8 years ago

alexvasseur commented 8 years ago

I suggest to improve the doc / readme. cfops does not relies on calling BOSH CLI (and Ruby that BOSH CLI needs) as it is calling BOSH director REST API directly. This makes it nice to install in a techops VM that relies on some datastore that has also infrastructure driven snapshoting for example - as then backup created by cfops in such a techops VM gets automatically snapshotted.

This is different from the default Pivotal Cloud Foundry that describes use of BOSH CLI for some of the backup/restore tasks. Of course BOSH CLI might be useful to manage Pivotal Cloud Foundry but one has BOSH CLI in Pivotal OpsManager already.

I would really suggest to explicitly write "BOSH CLI is not needed as cfops interacts with BOSH director thru the REST endpoints directly". That makes it more explicit imho
