8. The key benefits of Platform-as-a-Service for developers § There's no need to focus on provisioning, managing, or monitoring the compute, storage, network and software § Developers can create working prototypes in a matter of minutes. § Developers can create new versions or deploy new code more rapidly § Developers can self-assemble services to create integrated applications. § Developers can scale applications more elastically by starting more instances. § Developers don’t have to worry about underlying operating system and middleware security patches. § Developers can mitigate backup and recovery strategies, assuming the PaaS takes care of this. And the key disadvantages § Applications require a different architecture mindset § This requires developer skill and awareness of best practices and web app limitations. § Don’t have as much control over the underlying infrastructure. Security, versioning, performance considerations.

10. Cloud Foundry is the industry’s Open PaaS and provides a choice of clouds, frameworks and application services. Its unique vision is to foster contributions from a broad community of developers, users, customers, partners and ISVs while advancing development of the platform at extreme velocity. cloudfoundry.org

11. Frameworks and services lend Cloud Foundry its extensibility Buildpacks (implement frameworks for apps) detect compile release package The detect script is used to determine whether or not to apply the buildpack to an application. The compile script builds the droplet that will be run by the DEA and will therefore contain all the components necessary to run the application. The release script provides feedback metadata back to Cloud Foundry indicating how the application should be executed. The package script provides artifacts, which are provided to Cloud Foundry as system buildpacks. package is intended to provide a way for developers to package a buildpack with its dependencies. Brokered services (implement an API to provide services) fetch provision bind

12. Cloud Foundry is built on a highly scalable distributed architecture Routes incoming traffic to the appropriate component; generally the Cloud Controller or application Identity management service for the platform. Acts as an OAuth2 and SCIM provider. Monitors the state of applications and ensures that the correct number of instances are running Exposes a REST API to the system. Manages a database of apps, services, service instances, etc End user provided code that is “pushed” to the cloud and packaged to run in warden container Advertises service offerings to the Cloud Controller and handles requests to create, bind, unbind, and delete service instances. Managed by the service gateway, these nodes host service instances. A broker that can expose a service instance to a service managed outside of the cloud A collection of code that is responsible for transforming pushed app artifacts into a ready to run droplet A pub-sub message bus implemented with NATS that’s used for cross component communication Droplet Execution Agent – Advertises capacity to execute droplets created by a build pack A distributed deployment install and management tool that abstracts the details of the IaaS layer

13. Components collaborate via messaging and REST APIs

14. BOSH deploys and manages Cloud Foundry clusters on an IaaS Deployment Manifest • Release name/version • # VMs, Job params • Stemcells to use Stemcell • Base OS • BOSH Agent Release • Name Jobs • Software Packages • Config Templates • Scripts Deployed Environment irtual Machine • Configuration • Software Packages Virtual Machine • Configuration • Software Packages Virtual Machine • Configuration • Software Packages Virtual Machine • Configuration • Software Packages Stemcells In a cloud platform, VMs are usually cloned from a template. A stemcell is a VM template containing a standard Ubuntu distribution. A BOSH agent is also embedded in the template so that BOSH can take control of VMs cloned from the stemcell. Jobs A job is a collection of software which serves a particular purpose (e.g. MySQL or the Cloud Controller). At deployment time, each job will be install on its own stemcell VM. Releases A release contains a number of jobs which can be deployed into the target environment. A deployment can consist of more than one release and not every job in a release must be deployed.

15. The BOSH Cloud Provider Interface (CPI) manages the IaaS resources that Cloud Foundry needs Stemcells create_stemcell(image, cloud_properties) delete_stemcell(stemcell) Virtual Machines create_vm(agent_id, stemcell, resource_pool, networks, disk_locality, env) delete_vm(vm) reboot_vm(vm) configure_networks(vm, networks) Disks create_disk(size, vm_locality) delete_disk(disk) attach_disk(vm, disk) detach_disk(vm, disk)

29. The Cloud Foundry Heroku buildpack model Buildpacks implement execution environments for apps. They can be either a raw language (Java), or with frameworks (Spring, servlet, standalone). When pushed, the entire application is encapsulated into a “droplet” and is run in an isolated Linux container on the pool of “droplet execution agents.” bin/detect The detect script is used to determine whether or not to apply the buildpack to an application. bin/compile The compile script builds the droplet that will be run by the DEA and will therefore contain all the components necessary to run the application. bin/release The release script provides feedback metadata back to Cloud Foundry indicating how the application should be executed. bin/package The package script provides artifacts, which are provided to Cloud Foundry as system buildpacks. package is intended to provide a way for developers to package a buildpack with its dependencies. Scripts can be written in a variety of languages (bash, Python, Ruby, etc.)

30.

36. Best practices for microservices architectures 12factor.net! The 12 factor app is a methodology for building apps that: • Use declarative formats for setup automation, to minimize time and cost for new developers joining the project;" • Have a clean contract with the underlying operating system, offering maximum portability between execution environments; • Are suitable for deployment on modern cloud platforms, obviating the need for servers and systems administration; • Minimize divergence between development and production, enabling continuous deployment for maximum agility; • And can scale up without significant changes to tooling, architecture, or development practices. The 12 factor methodology can be applied to apps written in any programming language, and which use any combination of backing services (database, queue, memory cache, etc).

37. Designing apps for the cloud: PaaS best practices Following these guidelines makes an application cloud-friendly, and facilitates deployment to Cloud Foundry and other cloud platforms. § Avoid writing to the local filesystem § Local file system storage is short-lived Your application can write local files while it is running, the files will disappear after the application restarts. § Instances of the same application do not share a local file system Each application instance runs in its own isolated container. Thus a file written by one instance is not visible to other instances of the same application. § HTTP sessions are not persisted or replicated Session data that must be available after an application crashes or stops, or that needs to be shared by all instances of an application, should be stored in a Cloud Foundry service. § Run multiple instances to increase availability To avoid the risk of an application being unavailable during Cloud Foundry upgrade processes, you should run more than one instance of an application. § Design as if your application can be restarted, destroyed, started at any time! http://bit.ly/cf-paas-bp !

38. Pitfall: cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) As you break monolithic apps into discrete services that are aggregated by a JavaScript front-end, you’ll likely run into an issue with the sandbox environment of the browser. Standard HTTP headers provide a way to overcome this limitation (http://bit.ly/cf-cors). http://js-front-end.example.com http://service-1.example.com http://www.example.com/service-1 http://www.example.com/service-2 http://www.example.com/service-3 http://service-2.example.com http://service-3.example.com
