Detect the version of CloudFoundry/Bluemix

Question

I am trying to detect the version of Bluemix/Cloud Foundry. Is there a command I can use to do this?

cf -version tells you the version of the commandline interface, but not the version of the server you are "push"ing to.

thanks

Answer 1

You can get the version of CloudFoundry that Bluemix is running on via the CloudFoundry info endpoint.

US South Datacenter - https://api.ng.bluemix.net/info (currently 226 as of this posting)

EU UK Datacenter - https://api.eu-gb.bluemix.net/info (currently 226 as of this posting)

AP Datacenter - https://api.au-syd.bluemix.net/info (currently 226 as of this posting)

AP Datacenter - https://api.eu-de.bluemix.net/info (currently 226 as of this posting)

The build is the bit of JSON you want.

{
"name": "Bluemix",
"build": "226004",
"support": "http://ibm.com",
"version": 2,
"description": "IBM Bluemix",
"authorization_endpoint": "https://login.ng.bluemix.net/UAALoginServerWAR",
"token_endpoint": "https://uaa.ng.bluemix.net",
"allow_debug": true
}

You can use the command cf curl /v2/info to access Bluemix's Cloud Controller endpoint to get info about versions, etc. Here's the output I see at the moment:

$ cf curl /v2/info
{
   "name": "Bluemix",
   "build": "195008",
   "support": "http://ibm.com",
   "version": 2,
   "description": "IBM Bluemix",
   "authorization_endpoint": "https://login.ng.bluemix.net/UAALoginServerWAR",
   "token_endpoint": "https://uaa.ng.bluemix.net",
   "api_version": "2.19.0",
   "logging_endpoint": "wss://loggregator.ng.bluemix.net:443",
   "user": "<uuid>"
}

The build property's first three characters map to the version of Cloud Foundry in use. In this case, version 195, which corresponds to the versioned API doc here: http://apidocs.cloudfoundry.org/195/
