Hands-on with Docker and Cloud Foundry

In this workshop, Dave Nielsen will show you how to setup & use containers to develop your applications while deploying your own open source Platform-as-a-Service to run your applications. We will use using open source Docker to setup your container on your laptop, and open source Cloud Foundry to setup your PaaS. See details below:

This workshop will include the following:

Workshop Overview:

Part 1: Introduction to Docker containers

Exercise 1: Install Docker on your laptop. Build a container. Pull down code from github.

Part 2: Introduction to Cloud Foundry

Exercise 2: Deploy your app from Docker to Cloud Foundry

Part 3: Deploy Your Own Cloud Foundry PaaS

You will use BOSH Lite to deploy Cloud Foundry to a Public Cloud, and then show you how to deploy applications into your new PaaS using the Cloud Foundry CLI.
