Cloud Foundry is a complex distributed system that features a range of components which provide a faster and easier way to build, test, deploy and scale applications. We will go through the most important elements and capabilities that make Cloud Foundry a first class citizen PaaS.

As a developer, you will learn to evaluate if Cloud Foundry is a good fit for your awesome app.

• What Cloud Foundry is not?
• Will my app run on Cloud Foundry just as it is?
• How do you deploy apps to Cloud Foundry?
• How do I scale my app up and down?
• How do I know if something goes wrong, how do my apps perform?

From an ops or DevOps point of view, you will learn about ways to deploy Cloud Foundry.

• Your local machine
• AWS
• OpenStack on HP Cloud
• Others?

We’ll also cover how Cloud Foundry solves issues of portability, scalability, reliability and extensibility.
