Cloud Foundry Introduction - Pivotal Style

Cloud Foundry is an open source cloud application platform that makes it easier to build, test, deploy and scale applications. Pivotal Labs has provided their own implementation of Cloud Foundry that adds the ability to host, manage and scale applications that in Windows Server containers. We will go over the PCF platform and common refactorings that will need to be done in order to port existing applications to be able to run in containers.

Our speaker will be Kevin Gandy.

Kevin is a consultant with Magenic Technologies and has been attending GGMUG meetings for many years. His work has primarily focused on building high availability web applications. From ASP .Net Classic and ColdFusion through .Net Core and the rise of JavaScript frameworks he has seen the architecture of web based application evolve from the monoliths of the late 90's into the modern implementations of microservices we see today.
