Bidirectional-streams Over Synchronous HTTP (BOSH) is a transport protocol that emulates a bidirectional stream between two entities (such as a client and a server) by using multiple synchronous HTTP request/response pairs without requiring the use of polling or asynchronous chunking.
For applications that require both "push" and "pull" communications, BOSH is significantly more bandwidth-efficient and responsive than most other bidirectional HTTP-based transport protocols and AJAX. BOSH achieves this by avoiding HTTP polling, yet it does so without resorting to chunked HTTP responses as is done in the technique known as Comet. To date, BOSH has been used mainly as a transport for traffic exchanged between Jabber/XMPP clients and servers (e.g., to facilitate connections from web clients and from mobile clients on intermittent networks).
For "push", a BOSH client starts a HTTP request, but the server postpones sending a reply until it has data to send. After receiving a reply, the client immediately makes another request on the same HTTP connection, so the server can always send data to the client without waiting for the client to poll. If, while waiting for a reply, the client needs to send data to the server, it opens a second HTTP connection. There are at most two HTTP connections open at a time, one on which the server can send data as a reply and one on which the client can send data as a POST.
"Bidirectional-streams Over Synchronous HTTP (BOSH)" and "XMPP over BOSH" are draft standards of the XMPP Standards Foundation.
The second related standard XMPP Over BOSH (XEP-0206) defines how BOSH may be used to transport XMPP stanzas. The result is a HTTP binding for XMPP communications that is intended to be used in situations where a device or client is unable to maintain a long-lived TCP connection to a XMPP server.
Bosh, stylized BOSH, were a British Christian rock band based in Bournemouth on England's South Coast. The band formed in 1996 around brothers David and Michael Griffiths. BOSH are noted as one bands that started the Nth Degree Community and Risen Records in the early 2000s.
BOSH released four CD's on Risen Records, the EP 'VII' in 2005, the live album 'Middle of Somewhere' in 2007. 'Sound the Alarms' was released in 2008 produced by a team that included Grammy Nominated producer Steve Ennever (formally of Bournemouth band Denzil) and Paul Burton. The Gloaming Hour EP was released in 2009. They were also a regular feature in the Christian music scene in the UK, playing at Nth Fest, Creation Fest, Greenbelt festival, Grace Festivals and The Big Church Day Out Festival. They also played outside the Christian music scene, and opened for bands such as Frightened Rabbit
The band's final line-up consisted of David Griffiths, Mike Griffiths, Steve Coates, James Grant and touring keys player Dave Evans. According to the band's Facebook page, former keyboard player Grant Howard left the band in March 2010 to move to Kitchener, Ontario, Canada . He was followed in July 2010 by guitarist Matt Gainsford who left to continue studying in Wisconsin.
In 2011 the band decided to enter indefinite hiatus to pursue other projects. They played their last show on 2 September 2011 in Bournemouth. David Griffith's next project Chaos Curb Collaboration (which included contributions from former members Mike, James, Grant, Dave Evans) was signed to Joining the dots distribution in 2012. David Griffiths is scheduled to release a solo album in 2016 featuring contributions from former members Mike, Grant, James, Dave Evans)
BOSH is an open source project which offers a tool chain for release engineering, deployment & life-cycle management of large scale distributed services. Namely, this tool chain is made of a server (the BOSH Director) and a command line tool. BOSH is typically used to package, deploy and manage cloud software. While BOSH was initially developed by VMware in 2010 to deploy Cloud Foundry PaaS, it can be used to deploy other software ( Hadoop, RabbitMQ, or MySQL for instance). BOSH is particularly well-suited for managing the whole life cycle of large distributed systems.
Since March 2016, BOSH can manage deployments on both Windows and Linux servers.
A BOSH Director communicates with a single IaaS that provides the underlying networking and VMs (or containers). Several IaaS providers are supported: Amazon Web Services EC2, Apache CloudStack, Google Compute Engine, OpenStack, and VMware vSphere.
To help supporting more underlying infrastructures, BOSH uses a concept of Cloud Provider Interface (CPI).
Few CPIs exist for deploying containers with BOSH, and only one actively supported. Thus BOSH, only deploys Garden containers (Garden is very similar to Docker) on a single virtual machine, run by VirtualBox or VMware Workstation. In theory, any other container engine could be supported, if the necessary CPIs were developed.
Due to BOSH indifferently supporting deployments on VMs or containers, BOSH uses the generic term “instances” to designate those. Actually, it's up to the CPI to choose whether a BOSH “instance” is actually a VM or a container. For BOSH, it makes no difference.
