BOSH operates at a lower level, working with VMs. Flynn is higher level and allows deployment and management of applications and databases in containers.
Instead of relying on a lower layer like BOSH, Flynn is self-bootstrapping and self-hosting. It runs everything except the container runner in containers managed by the platform. The same APIs and tools are used to manage user applications and Flynn components.

You can bring your own lower level infrastructure, like IaaS or bare metal. There is a cloud installer that can spin up a cluster to try out on EC2, Azure, or Digital Ocean, but most production users are using whatever management tools they are comfortable with to deploy and scale Flynn hosts out.
