Cloud Foundry is an open platform as a service that allows developers to deploy and scale applications in seconds without locking themselves into a single cloud. It provides choice of development frameworks, deployment clouds, and application services. Cloud Foundry is used by developers to focus on writing applications rather than infrastructure management. It allows writing applications once and deploying to private or public clouds without code changes.

6. 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

22. 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
