Cloud Foundry quick start

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.

At this meetup, we will walk you 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

• Others?

How does Cloud Foundry solves issues of portability, scalability, reliability and extensibility?
