Cloud Foundry – Hands-on Deep Dive into CF Push

Once Cloud Foundry is installed, it is quite easy to deploy and run an application. But what really happens behind the scenes?

In this hands-on session we will explore the installation of Cloud Foundry on your local machine and delve into the machinery!

We will cover:

• What happens internally on a cf push
• Understand the structure of the Cloud Foundry platform machines
• What happens in the build pack
• Eavesdrop on the Cloud Foundry message broker NATS
• Looking inside your Warden containers
• How to achieve zero down time deployments

Prerequisites

It is mandatory to have this installation up and running before the workshop! It will take you between 2 and 4 hours (if you are lucky), to install it given sufficient bandwidth.

• Your own laptop, preferably 16Gb of memory
• Vagrant + virtual box installed
• A running installation of Cloud Foundry v169 on your local machine (See https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-lite )
