This document is a slide presentation by Ronak Banka on using Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) together. It discusses how PCF provides a platform for deploying applications on GCP that enables both developer and operator productivity through features like automated deployments, service integration, and operations. It also highlights benefits of using PCF on GCP like performance, scale, cost savings, and access to differentiated GCP services.

3. DevOps
● Common incentives, tools, and
processes builds a culture of
shared responsibility.
● Collaboration is paramount.
Pivotal Perspective: Software Practices are Evolving
Continuous Delivery
● With automated tests, teams
release early and often.
● The results: higher quality code
and lower risk.
● There’s fewer bugs in
production.
Microservices
● Loosely coupled components
help teams deploy
independently.
● No more waiting for integrated
test teams.

9. Increase speed and deploy
code to production thousands
of times per month. Use PAS
to run Java, .NET, and Node
apps.
Best runtime for Spring and Spring Boot — Spring’s
microservice patterns—and Spring Boot’s executable jars—are
ready-made for PAS.
Turnkey microservices operations and security — Spring
Cloud Services brings microservices best practices to PAS. It
includes Config Server, Service Registry, and Circuit Breaker
Dashboard.
A native Windows and .NET experience — Use PAS to run
new apps built with .NET Core. Run your legacy .NET
Framework apps on PAS too, using the .NET Hosted Web Core
buildpack. Push applications to containers running on Windows
Server 2016.
Built for apps — PAS has everything to need to run apps.
Buildpacks manage runtime dependencies; metrics, logging,
and scaling are done for you. Multitenancy, and blue/green
deployment patterns are built-in. Extend apps with a rich
service catalog.
Container-ready — PAS supports the OCI format for Docker
images. Run platform-built and developer-built containers.

Built with open-source Kubernetes — Constant compatibility
with the current stable release of Kubernetes, operated by
BOSH. No proprietary extensions.
Production-ready — Highly available from apps to
infrastructure, no single points of failure. Built-in health checks,
scaling, auto-healing and rolling upgrades.
Multicloud — BOSH provides a reliable and consistent
operational experience. For any cloud.
Network management and security out-of-the-box with
VMware NSX-T. Multi-cloud, multi-hypervisor.
GCP APIs access — The GCP Service Broker allows apps to
transparently access Google Cloud APIs, from anywhere. Easily
move workloads to/from Google Container Engine (GKE).
Fully automated Ops — Fully automated deploy, scale, patch,
upgrade. No downtime. Use CD pipelines to deploy your
platform, too.

12. Why PCF on GCP?

13. https://www.slideshare.net/ssusera6cdab/mobile-game-architecture-on-gcp

16. • Performance - Sub-minute VM provisioning
• Scale - Multi-region deployments with Google’s network infrastructure and global backbone
integrated natively into PCF
• Differentiated Services – advanced Service Broker integration exposes Google Data
Services natively through PCF
• Savings - Cost savings of up to 30% with sustained use discounts and up to 60% or more
with preemptible VMs.
• Flexibility - Custom machine sizes to tailor-fit computing needs; reducing costs on
unnecessary overpowered resources.

20. Pivotal Application Service
Enabling Operator Efficiency

21. Cloud-Native Operations
Modern Cloud-Native practices affect how we build and run software
● Newfound focus on resilience
● More flexibility in deployment models
● Automation of redundant, mundane tasks (live patching, upgrades, etc.)
● Automate systems, not servers
● Operations teams must become champions of process improvement and automation
○ Hide complexity
○ Provide flexibility
○ API-first approach

22. Immutable Infrastructure w/ BOSH
● All VMs are created from a known good starting point called a stemcell
● When an security patch comes out, Pivotal releases new stemcells
● Rather than update the package(s) in question, BOSH will:
○ Create a new VM from the updated stemcell
○ Detach any persistent disks from the old VM, and attach them to the new VM
○ Start jobs on the new VM
○ Destroy the original VM

23. Pivotal Application Service
Enabling Developer Productivity

24. cf push Automates Developer + Operator workflows
After you cf push, PAS:
Uploads your code
Detects and installs required runtime &
middleware (“Buildpacks”)
Sets up a route (or URL)
Creates a load balancing entry
Creates SSL termination
Creates health monitoring & logging
subsystems
Starts your app in a healthy state, with
the desired number of instances
Binds specified backing services
