5. What’s Happening with Applications Today?
Frameworks are what really matter
• Developer productivity and innovation
• Reduce time to market
New application types
• Mobile, Social, SaaS
• Apps released early and often
Data intensive
• Emerging requirements: elasticity, multi-cloud
• Web orientation drives exponential data volumes
Deployed on virtual and cloud infrastructures
• Virtualization, Cloud, PaaS

8. Why Cloud Foundry?
Developer Agility
• Friction-free way to develop, test and deploy applications
• Focus on writing applications, not meddling with middleware and infrastructure
Portability without changes
• Write once, test-scale-deploy to private/public clouds without code changes
• Quickly build and test on a laptop and scale to the cloud
Open - The freedom to choose
• Choice of clouds for deployment, industry frameworks, and application services
• Extensible architecture to “future proof” for rapid cloud innovation
• Community open-source project - access, evaluate and contribute

23. Cloud Foundry BOSH
! Cloud Foundry BOSH is an open source tool-chain for release
engineering, deployment, and lifecycle management of large scale
distributed services
• Prescriptive way of creating releases and managing systems and services
• It is not a collection of shell scripts, not a pile of Perl
! Built to deploy and manage production-class, large scale clusters
• Production grade Cloud Foundry clusters: 500+ VMs, 40+ jobs, 75+ packages
• Multi-node, multi-tier, complex clusters: e.g., our Gerrit/Jenkins Cluster
! Built for devops usage and scale by a crack team of veterans
• A project, not a product: command line interface, YAML, etc.
• Continuous improvement, iterative development, rough edges
