This is the guide on how to bootstrap a vm pool server (VPS) in Softlayer https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/bosh-softlayer-baremetal-server-release/tree/1aa4c8e0b34c3508728c1dcbebc62048449e471a

This is how VPS feature works: * When deleting a vm, it’s not really cancelled from Softlayer. * If it’s not in the vm pool, add it to the pool and mark it as “free”. * If it’s already in the pool, just mark as “free”. * When creating a vm * First check if there is a suitable vm in the pool. The criteria includes [cpu, memory, public_vlan, private_vlan]. Only all of them are the same as required, the vm in pool is considered as “suitable”. If there are suitable vms in the pool, a random one is selected. Then run os-reload and install jobs on the vm. During os-reload, the vm is marked as “provisioning”. When os-reload is done, it’s marked as “using”. * If there is no suitable vm in the pool, it will send a real order to Softlayer to create a new vm. After the vm is created, it’s added to the vm pool and marked as “using”.
