Software Kept Eating the World
Software is transforming our world at an ever quickening page. In the modern world, realtime information drives decision making in enterprises that were not traditionally considered technology companies. If you recognize software is a competitive advantage, delivering software rapidly and reliably takes the advantage to the next level.
Barriers to entry are collapsing as digital startups come out of nowhere to disrupt entire industries. In this session we will discuss the capabilities you need to deliver business innovation through software to market faster than your competitors.

Unlock your VMWare Investment with Pivotal Cloud Foundry (VMworld 2014)VMware Tanzu
Presented by Cornelia Davis - Platform Engineer, Cloud Foundry, Pivotal
You might have heard that software is eating the world; in every industry enterprises are being challenged to bring software to their consumers faster, more frequently and with insanely great user experiences. Pivotal Cloud Foundry, the leading enterprise Platform as a Service (PaaS) that is powered by Cloud Foundry, is designed to remove friction from the traditional application lifecycle, from dev all the way through production. At the core it exposes application and services “dial tone”, rather than infrastructure “dial tone”, scoping a broad set of capabilities such as autoscaling, dynamic routing, logging, monitoring, health management, and more, around the application. Pivotal Cloud Foundry itself depends on the infrastructure “dial tone” that is brilliantly provided by vSphere or vCHS.
In this session we’ll start with the industry drivers for PaaS, explain how it leverages your existing vSphere or vCHS investment, and then dive into the details of what Pivotal Cloud Foundry brings to the enterprise developer and operator. Light on slides and heavy on demo, you’ll come away with a solid understanding of how Pivotal CF can revolutionize they way your enterprise develops, delivers and manages software.

Building a University Community PaaS Using Cloud Foundry (Cloud Foundry Summ...VMware Tanzu
Lightning Talk by Dr. Wei-Min Lu, Founder and CEO
Anchora.
The Shanghai Jiao Tong University PaaS is a community cloud PaaS based on Cloud Foundry jointly built and operated by the Network and Information Center at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and MoPaaS/Anchora. It serves more than 10,000 professors, instructors, and researchers, and more than 50,000 undergraduate and graduate students. In particular, it provides an agile cloud application platform for R&D and teaching. In this talk, I will share our experience building and operating such a community PaaS using Cloud Foundry.
By integrating provisioning, packaging, configuration, orchestration, health monitoring and remediation, Cloud Native Infrastructure Automation goes beyond configuring servers to provide structured abstractions for the service lifecycle to drive incredible operational efficiencies. This Cloud Native approach allows the focus to be on delivering services. Modeling releases and deployments ensures bit for bit consistent deployments with canary deployment, scale up, scale down, rolling upgrade and rollback with no downtime built in to the orchestration. All driven using the APIs of the underlying cloud infrastructure. Using this approach gives an organization the ability to run anything ‘as a Service’, from the Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime, to databases and message queues. Finally, stop managing servers and start managing services.
The ability to deliver software is no longer a differentiator. In fact, it is a basic requirement for survival. Companies that embrace cloud native patterns of software delivery will survive; companies that don’t - will not.
In this webinar, we:
Look at the common patterns that distinguish cloud native companies and the architectures that they employ.
Discover that an opinionated platform, one that stretches from the infrastructure all the way to the application framework, rather than ad-hoc automation, is an essential component to an enterprise's cloud native journey.
Show that the combination of Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Spring is the complete cloud native platform.

Tools and Recipes to Replatform Monolithic Apps to Modern Cloud EnvironmentsVMware Tanzu
Digital transformation includes replatforming applications to streamline release cycles, improve availability, and manage apps and services at scale. But many enterprises are afraid to take the first step because they don’t know where to start. In this webinar, Rohit will provide a step-by-step guide that covers:
● How to find high-value modernization projects within your application portfolio
● Easy tools and techniques to minimally change applications in preparation for replatforming
● How to choose the platform with the right level of abstraction for your app

Troubleshooting App Health and Performance with PCF Metrics 1.2VMware Tanzu
Join Allen Duet and Pieter Humphrey from Pivotal, to learn how PCF Metrics enhances the developer experience on Pivotal Cloud Foundry, with a simple and powerful way to troubleshoot app health and performance issues. You will see how, with a single, unified interface for events, logs, and metrics, app devs can easily navigate graphs to identify problems and then view logs for that time slice.
Cloud Native is more than a set of tools. It is a full architecture, a philosophical approach for building applications that take full advantage of cloud computing and a organisational change. Going Cloud Native requires an organisation to shift not only its tech stack but also its culture, processes and team setup. In this talk I'll dive into possible operating models for Cloud Native Systems.

Cloud-Native Fundamentals: An Introduction to 12-Factor ApplicationsVMware Tanzu
It seems like a new cloud-native technology or project is launched every week, and though there are technical changes required for building and operating cloud-native applications, technology alone isn’t a silver bullet. It turns out that how you build your applications is critical to enable seamless scaling and resiliency to failures. What do you have to do to ensure your applications can fully leverage the power and flexibility the cloud offers?
The 12-Factor principles have been around for a decade and have proven themselves as core, foundational principles for cloud-native applications. But they require changes to how you design your applications, the way teams collaborate on code, and more. Understanding the 12-Factor principles is a strong foundation for adopting cloud-native patterns and practices.
Join Pivotal's Nate Schutta, developer advocate, to learn:
● Which of the 12 Factors are most critical to building scalable applications
● Which of the 12 Factors are most likely violated by your heritage applications
● What you can do to make your existing applications more 12-Factor compliant
● Which of the 12 Factors are most critical to applications moving to the cloud
● How to externalize state and configuration in order to simplify scaling and code changes

Cloud Foundry open Platform as a Service makes it easy to operate, scale and deploy application for your dedicated cloud environments. It enables developers and operators to be significantly more agile, writing great applications and deliver them in days instead of months. Cloud Foundry takes care of all the infrastructure and network plumbing that you need to build, run and operate your applications and can do this while patching and updating systems and services without any downtime.
Code to Cloud: Three Trends for Faster, Safer Continuous DeliveryVMware Tanzu
You’re faced with the business imperative to deliver value to your customers faster, with less risk, and at enterprise scale. But where do you start? There are so many approaches and products for implementing continuous delivery (CD) of modern apps.
Join our webinar to learn about three trends that can make your delivery pipelines inherently resilient, accessible, and continuous:
● continuous delivery as a relay race
● turning monitoring into automated action
● developer experience at the heart
We’ll share a demo of a delivery pipeline that includes Concourse CI, Pivotal Build Service, and Spinnaker CD with Pivotal Container Service as the destination. You’ll learn how a loosely coupled pipeline can provide speed with guardrails, enabling you to scale delivery of your modern applications.
This webinar is especially relevant for those who:
● think full software delivery automation is a pipe dream.
● have an app delivery pipeline that’s a brittle monolith to maintain.
● suspect all your delivery problems are solved with Kubernetes.

Cloud Native Computing: What does it mean, and is your app Cloud Native?Michael O'Sullivan
There is a growing choice of Cloud Platforms available today - these provide services and tooling for developers to deploy applications to the Cloud. The Cloud has brought considerations such as elastic scalability and distributed computing to the forefront of modern application architectures. Over time, a new type of application has now emerged, known as the Cloud Native Application. Such an application is said to be purpose-built for deployment on the Cloud. This has even led to a new paradigm known as Cloud Native Computing. In practice though, it is easy to be confused or unclear as to what Cloud Native means. How does a Cloud Native approach change the way in which developers code applications? How does this influence the architecture of an application? Does it force you to use a certain set of technologies such as Containers? Or, does it mean that an application that simply runs and scales on a distributed Cloud Platform is somehow considered to be running natively on the Cloud? Cloud Native Computing impacts on the answers to each of these questions, and applications running on the Cloud may not be considered Cloud Native at all.
In this talk, the meaning of Cloud Native will be explored and clarified. With practical examples where appropriate, the concepts behind a Cloud Native Application will be demonstrated. These examples will not only touch on the common terms and phrases around Cloud Native Computing such as DevOps, Microservices, The 12-Factor App methodology, but also on the technologies that have driven the creation this new paradigm, such as Cloud Foundry, Docker, and Kubernetes. How these technologies are used to deploy and scale Cloud Native Applications on "Platform as a Service" (PaaS) Cloud Platforms will also be presented.
At the conclusion, what is considered a Cloud Native Application and why should be clear - the attributes and typical architecture of such an application, as well as how technologies and PaaS services can be used to drive these applications on the cloud.
Software is eating the world - The Automotive IndustrySacha Labourey
The automotive industry can be used as a great proxy to explain the impact of software on established markets, and how the same will increasingly impact other markets. Essentially, as software is becoming increasingly important in how companies differentiate their products, some maverick vendors decide to extensively play on the software card in order to disrupt the entrenched vendors.
In the automotive industry, that maverick is called Tesla.

Software is eating the world and MDD should be in the driving seatJohan den Haan
Software is eating the world! Every company is becoming a software company. If companies don’t, they cease to exist. Just imagine: you are a thermostat maker and suddenly you have Google as a competitor (via its Nest acquisition). This is just one of the many recent examples.
Interestingly a lot of the innovations in the software industry are fuelled by abstraction and automation, concepts that are well-known in the MDD community. As the world is awakening to these concepts there is a clear opportunity (and need!) to bring MDD to a much broader audience.
In this keynote we will analyse what’s happening on all layers of the software stack. We will also explore how we can become more relevant as an MDD community. There is a ton of knowledge and experience in our community that could move the needle for a lot of companies, but are we using it? We need to stop doing what we always do. We need bold ideas and the courage to start a journey with no clear endpoint!
Pivotal Cloud Foundry: A Technical OverviewVMware Tanzu
"Do your teams release software to production weekly, daily or every hour ? Do you practice software development with tools, process and culture that can respond to the speed of market and customer changes? Agility allows you to experiment with new business models, learn from your mistakes and identify patterns that work. Deliver faster, look for feedback, gain knowledge. In every market, speed wins.
Cloud Native describes the patterns of high performing organizations delivering software faster, consistently and reliably at scale. Continuous delivery, DevOps, and microservices label the why, how and what of the cloud natives, the true digital enterprises."
Speaker: Vijay Rajagopal, Advisory Platform Architect, Pivotal
In this update of his past presentations on Mobile Eating the World -- delivered most recently at The Guardian's Changing Media Summit -- a16z’s Benedict Evans takes us through how technology is universal through mobile. How mobile is not a subset of the internet anymore. And how mobile (and accompanying trends of cloud and AI) is also driving new productivity tools.
In fact, mobile -- which encompasses everything from drones to cars -- is everything.

Are you being asked to put more cloud in your strategy? If you’re like most people, the answer is a definite yes. The word “cloud” can mean so many things, however, that making an actionable strategy is impossible. At Pivotal, we divide cloud into two distinct parts: migrating as many legacy applications into SaaS as possible and focusing on perfecting the software you build in-house that runs your business. Gartner is predicting that by 2020, 75% of applications used to support digital businesses will be built in-house. If you’re one of these companies, you’ll need to quickly evaluate how you develop and run your custom written software.
We believe that soon, every company will either be a software company or losing to a competitor who is. It’s time to focus on the craft of managing the software development life-cycle, and this brief, but dense webinar will help launch your efforts to become a software defined business.
Join us in the last installment in our series: Organization Transformation - to get the full benefit of a cloud native approach, you'll likely need to change how your organization functions and behaves: you'll have to change its culture. When software is thought of more as ongoing products instead of discrete projects, the way the IT department is managed and run changes accordingly. This last part covers the motivations for those changes and outlines how to start transforming everyday management, strategy, staffing, and operations to become a cloud native enterprise.

Business critical systems—off-the-shelf systems, custom-built applications, or software-as-a-service—consist of many logical end points. However, they are all common in exposing a set of inputs and a set of outputs. They also produce and consume data of different forms, custom binary or a standard format like XML, EDI, JSON, and so on. This data needs to follow a particular protocol—TCP/IP, HTTP, or FTP—in order to ensure seamless communication between different end points.
Integration is a buzzword we hear all the time, but what does it really mean? Essentially, integration is the act of allowing these different end points to work together in meaningful ways to accomplish business value. IBM IIB version 10 provides a significant leap forward from version 9 and provides key enhancements in terms of experience as well as capabilities. Join us to see the difference and learn how it may serve you in your Digital Transformation journey.

How to Balance System Speed and Risk for Multi-Platform InnovationClaudia Ring
Walking the line between speed to market and stability of mission-critical systems is something many enterprise organizations deal with on a consistent basis, especially when planning a major application release. Multi-speed IT is a term that connotes the difficulty of balancing speed and risk for these enterprises, but also one that inherently defines a solution; moving at different speeds depending on system requirements. While moving at various speeds based on whether you are releasing changes for Systems of Engagement (SOE) or Systems of Record (SOR) can seem negative, it can be used as a stepping stone towards complete enterprise agility and iterative improvements in release management across both types of systems. Join Rosalind Radcliffe, IBM Distinguished Engineer and Chief Architect for DevOps, as she discusses;
How to begin incorporating continuous testing into the release cycle for both SOE's and SOR's
How deployment automation can be incorporated into multi-platform deployments
How earlier, more frequent testing and automated deployments can help stabilize risk while increasing speed
Customer success with using these testing and deployment solutions to achieve agility across both SOE's and SOR's
Databases: The Neglected Technology in DevOpsDevOps.com
Much has been written about software delivery in DevOps, with much less focus on the database. However, DevOps can—and should—play an equally critical role in both software and database development. In this ebook, we examine how DevOps can be used for database development and delivery, factors influencing DevOps’ role in database delivery, and some of the technologies designed to help.
Join us for this lively panel discussion!

Platform Requirements for CI/CD Success—and the Enterprises Leading the WayVMware Tanzu
All enterprises want to increase the speed of software delivery to get new products to market faster. The means for achieving this is often through the practice of continuous integration/continuous delivery. But speed alone isn’t enough—teams also require the ability to pivot when conditions change. They must ensure their software is stable and reliable, and be able to roll out patches and other security measures quickly and at scale.
A cloud-native platform coupled with test-driven development and CI/CD practices can help make this a reality. In this webinar, 451 Research’s Jay Lyman presents the results of his research into cloud-native platform requirements for enterprise CI/CD and DevOps success. Pivotal’s James Ma joins Lyman to discuss best practices from DevOps teams charged with running and managing cloud-native platforms, including applying CI/CD to the platform itself.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Web and mobile application software competition is growing exponentially across industries
Companies need to build and deliver software at unprecedented pace
But…
Enterprise architectures were designed for slower moving systems
We are trying to help *traditional* companies and industries innovate faster with software
Because Apps are the new front office, Internet of things placing emphasis on new development etc.
In the beginning people used to say that open source couldn’t innovate. That it was only good for commoditizing existing capabilities. That it was a race to the bottom which would destroy industry value.
Bullshit.
We never believed that. Still don’t. Open source is the best way to innovate because of the short feedback cycles it can create that we talked about previously. In the last few weeks, we’ve seen a subset of the vendors in the Hadoop space, which is itself just a part of the over 140 projects at the Apache Software Foundation, achieve a combined market valuation of $3Bn (Cloudera = $2Bn, HW = $1Bn). That’s a whole lot of industry value being created through open source. What happened?
First open source became a means of overcoming proprietary lock-in,. Then it replaced standards at the leading edge of industry adoption, fueled by a rate of innovation that standards could never keep up with. Then it became a strategic asset and an integral part of corporate strategy.
WHAT
Pivotal CF is next generation middleware that delivers 9 things that are typically delivered via point software products.
We provision operating systems and middleware.
We deliver workload density without compromising application performance.
We ensure that applications have appropriate network security safe guards to prevent security threats.
We support application connections to external sources including databases and legacy middleware.
We provide 4 levels of HA, with built in load balancing for scale in/out
We support multi-tenant environments so that each line of business can operate with a discrete quota and isolated system access.
We provision next generation data services including NOSQL databases, traditional databases and hadoop clusters.
We provide horizontal and vertical scaling for the underlying IaaS so that you can scale your infrastructure in lock step with your Business.
We provide a built-in log aggregation service, built-in APM metrics and utilization based auto-scaling so that you can monitor the health of your applications and scale out without human or 3rd party tool intervention.
I am going to cover each of these 9 capabilities in more detail, but it’s important to note the impact of this collection of capabilities. The following slides will include information on CAPEX and OPEX reduction. We will also discuss how you can deliver faster time to value while holding the line on infrastructure cost.
WHY
With a simple, modest, production, web application you are dealing with 5 components and each has at least one distinct configuration file. In this example, there are 50 configuration touches for a new web application release. Why on earth does it need to be this way? A new web application release that involves load balancing should involve a single configuration touch.
Application performance and reliability have a direct correlation to HA capability. Pivotal provides 4 level of HA so that you don’t need to invest in people/software to handle common failure situations. If an application fails, we will reboot it in a new container. This automated remediation addresses application bugs that result in outages. If a Pivotal process fails, we will reboot it in a new virtual machine. Our PaaS essentially monitors and remediates itself. If an OS or network failure occurs, our VM monitor will detect this and kill the VM, then reboot it in a new container. This streamlines Linux sysadmin operations. Lastly, if a datacenter rack fails, we will ensure the application stays running because we load application instances in multiple availability zones. No 2 availability zones live on the same datacenter rack. This hardware failure level resilience is very difficult to design using traditional tools provided by HP/CA/IBM.
And, by using Pivotal, you reduce the number of servers that require HP/CA/IBM monitoring tools.
Having the OS/Middleware/Application all managed via a single platform is great, but by including dynamic, no single point of failure load balancer we make it easy to:
1. Ensure application requests are routed to healthy application instances. This enhances the user experience with no operational overhead.
2. Provide an elegant way to upgrade applications using a common Blue/Green deployment pattern. This allows development teams to deploy releases on tighter intervals. The business shouldn’t wait 6 months for new features.
3. When an application is wildly successful, it’s easy to add capacity. And, if an application tends to be spikey, we can scale down/up on demand.
The key to 1-3 is a redundant, reliable router that replaces traditional software load balancers like Apache Web Server. It also reduces the need for hardware load balancers like F5 and Cisco.
Network security is a legitimate concern and Pivotal does several things to make sure that your applications have the right level of access to the network. First, each application instance lives inside of a linux control group and it only has visibility to file system and network connections for that application instance. 2 different application instances are not aware of each others filesystem or network usage.
Second, we use IP table rules to firewall application instances from each other. This is the same concept that Amazon Web Services uses to maintain tenancy and it’s been a Linux best practice for over a decade. There are times when 2 applications should be allowed to share a network connection, but that is only allowed with a system administrator override.
Pivotal reduces the need to purchase physical switches from Cisco. We provide similar benefits to VMware NSX, without forcing the customer to adopt a specific IaaS. Our technology works on top of VMWare, VCHS, OpenStack and public IaaS like Amazon.
Every application uses some sort of database or integration platform. Pivotal promotes the idea that these systems do not need to be managed by our software. You can connect any application to any traditional database or data warehouse system. You can connect to any message broker technology and we support connectivity to any NOSQL data platform.
It is very important to make sure that every OS and Middleware instance matches the gold image. Each application deploy is guaranteed to use a gold image for all software including the OS, platform services including VM monitors, and middleware. We provide a dedicated IT Operator web dashboard with authentication/authorization. We also provide a developer/tester web console that can be used view application health, scale applications and manage load balancer settings. Pivotal provides multi-tenancy at the line of business level so that each organization has self service access without visibility outside of the organization.
In traditional environments expensive tools provided by CA, HP and BMC try to provide similar capabilities. And, the operational overhead of these tools is high because there is no out of the box self service capability. Most companies try to build their own PaaS by bolting Remedy on top of legacy tools. Not only is this complex and brittle, it doesn’t deliver the instant self service experience that you get when using public cloud platforms like Amazon, Google and Heroku.
We deliver an exceptional self service user experience without forcing you to the public cloud. We allow you to choose to be compliant on-premise or off-premise.
We are not a traditional database as a service provider. But, we do provide out of the box support for highly available MySQL. We provide unique mobile data sync technology that allows you to build best of breed mobile applications. We provision MongoDB for document datastore usage. We provision Redis key/value caches, hadoop big data clusters and we even provide an S3 interface object store. We also provide advanced SQL services on top of Hadoop for real-time transactions and analytic use cases. It is also possible to extend our data service architecture to support existing data platforms. MPP Databases and In-Memory Data Grids are good candidates for automation.
If you take the religious aspect of databases out of the mix, you can drastically reduce cost by reducing use of Oracle RAC, DB2 and SQL Server. You can replace Coherence and Terracotta with key/value caching. And, you can build mobile applications without the added cost of Kony, Feedhenry and Urban Airship.
Application performance monitoring is built into the platform. Pivotal aggregates and streams all system logs, including the load balancer, application, middleware, and operating system. We also log and aggregate application deployment and scale events. You can combine Pivotal with Splunk or use a lower cost log event correlation system because we handle aggregation of multiple log sources. When it comes to application metrics, we provide a multitude of IT operator data points, including routing counters and VM CPU/RAM health statistics. Each line of business can turn on auto-scaling that will increase/decrease the application instances when average CPU utilization goes up/down.
Lastly, Pivotal recognizes that some vendors can add monitor capabilities above/beyond what we provide. We strongly caution you against using “legacy” platforms like CA and HP, but App Dynamics and New Relic are PaaS aware and work out of the box with Pivotal CF.
There are many ways to provision a VM, but we are the only vendor that can provision a VM Resource Pool to fully functional PaaS in minutes. We are the only vendor that supports Public cloud providers like Amazon, Private IaaS vendors including VMware and Openstack and VMware’s VCHS hybrid cloud offering.
We provide an IT Operator dashboard that supports horizontal and vertical scaling. You can increase the number of VMs to add redundancy and scale. You can create larger VM instances that can host more application instances or handle more application connections per VM. We are the only platform that can upgrade itself without zero downtime. And, we give the Line Of Business power over how/when to scale application instances.
WHY
Remember the good old days when you had a separate chunk of plastic to take live video, make phone calls, listen to music, snap a picture with friends, get instant messages from co-workers, check the time and use that new fangled world wide web? Can you imagine swapping your smart phone for 8 pieces of gear that barely fit into a duffle bag?
We are on the cusp of a similar transition in the datacenter. You shouldn’t need to work with different vendors when running applications. You shouldn’t need a separate vendor for your operating system, middleware, load balancer, system provisioning and policy management.
Why would you use these devices in a world where a single platform displaces a myriad of unnecessary and expensive products.
