Module 1 - Introduction
Pivotal Cloud Foundry Introduction
Agenda
- Evolution of cloud architectures
- Industry trends
- Cloud Foundry
- Pivotal Cloud Foundry - Pivotal built upon CF to provide an enterprise offering
- Advent of IaaS meant the bottom half was taken care of by the service provider which expedited the process of getting an application out to prod.
- Cloud Native Platform, took away some more of the responsibilities from the hands of the developer. Deploying an application: IaaS vs PCF
IaaS
- Provision a VM
- Install application runtime
- Deploy application
- Configure Load Balancer
- Configure SSL termination
- Configure service connectivity
- Configure firewall
PCF equivalent
cf push. That’s it.
Common application needs are handled by the platform, so you can focus on business value.
Scaling an application: IaaS vs PCF IaaS
- Provision a VM
- Install application runtime
- Deploy application
- Configure Load Balancer
- Configure SSL termination
- Configure service connectivity
- Configure firewall
PCF equivalent
cf scale
Staging - taking your app, determining all the runtime support it needs. The outcome is a droplet - app + dependencies which is run within a container
Industry Trends
Jamie Dimon said, Silicon Valley is coming. A number of industries have been displaced by the software industries. Business expectations have gone up but IT budget has stayed the same. So there is a huge innovation gap. Software continues to be constrained by Silos even in the cloud world. PCF provides an advantage by being capable of running on top of any of these Cloud providers.
