Rapid Innovation Requires a Combined Approach
➢ Dramatically improve developer
experience
➢ Agile teams, rapid iteration
➢ Microservices, incubate open source
advancements (data and apps)
➢ Continuous delivery, no planned
downtime
➢ Instant scaling of apps and data
services
➢ Automation and deployment
consistency at every step

• Significant Operations Overhead
• Substantial DevOps Skills Required
• Implicit Interfaces
• Duplication of Effort
• Distributed System Complexity
• Asynchronicity is Difficult!
• Testability Challenges

Speaking Of Continuous Delivery

14. ‹#›© Copyright 2014 Pivotal. All rights reserved.
Requirements of Continuous Delivery
• Continuous Integration
• Environment Agnostic Packages
• Externalized Environment Specific Configurations
• Automation of Lifecycle (Build->Run->Release)
• Consistent Process Across Environments
• Recreation of App Environments Frequently “Servers !=
Puppies”
• Automate All Testing Where Failure Would Prevent a
Production Release

15. ‹#›© Copyright 2014 Pivotal. All rights reserved.
How Does Cloud Foundry Help?
• New App Environment in Seconds
• Complete Consistency Between Environments
• Consistent API to Automate Deployments
• Inject Environment Specific Configuration
• Consistent Process to Deploy

Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime and the
constant of Change
• Each component is it’s
own project
• Dependency on APIs not
Implementation
• Accept Failure “Anti-
Fragile”
• Microservice Architecture
