How to Scale Operations for a Multi-Cloud Platform using PCFVMware Tanzu
What’s in a cloud platform? Turns out, often several clouds! Companies automate operations in a cloud by treating all components as commodities. However, at enterprise- scale, different business requirements dictate deploying multiple clouds including:
- Hybrid infrastructures and multiple cloud providers
- Compliance with country privacy laws and different security standards
- Specialization requests
The most advanced Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) customers engineer their entire cloud platform, including their multitude of PCF instances, as a product. They create pervasive automation, treat their infrastructure as code, and continuously test and update their platform with delivery pipelines.
In this webinar we’ll discuss how companies are scaling operations of their multi-cloud platforms with Pivotal Cloud Foundry.
We’ll cover:
- Why enterprises deploy multiple clouds
- What operational challenges this causes
- How PCF customers are applying DevOps techniques and tools to platform automation
- An idealized tool stack for a engineering a multi-cloud platform at scale
- How to improve your platform engineering

Devops: Enabled Through a Recasting of Operational Rolescornelia davis
Delivered at CF Summit Berlin, 2 Nov 2015.
One thing that everyone agrees on is that “Devops” is about reducing the friction between dev and ops. While it might not be immediately apparent, CF enables a separation of “operations” into two roles: platform ops and application ops. Platform ops is responsible for maintaining a secure platform with sufficient functionality and capacity so that application developers and application operators can perform their work. And application operators are responsible for keeping business applications up and running, so that consumers receive superior service, 24x7x365. By moving further up the stack, app operators can be far closer to the line of business owners, getting them speaking the same language. In this session we demonstrate how Cloud Foundry enables this, we talk about customers who are taking advantage of it, and we cover the tools available for each of the roles.

Original Cf summit session description:
This talk presents a retrospective on the progressive CF adoption within Orange Labs as a private Paas since 2012, and the activities involved in integrating CF in orange’s infrastructures and work processes.
In particular, this talk presents the opensource “ElPaaSo” product which is offering to orange additional-added value on top of CF to match specific requirements such as: formalizing application versionning and their micro-service architectures, fetching versionned app bits from corporate repositories, formalizing application supported configurations.
This talk then details future work, and challenges to trigger massive paas adoption within Orange.
We’ll conclude by imagining ways CF could potentially be extended in the future to natively support additional customizations and extension mechanisms to enable support for similar organisation-specific requirements.

Hack for Good and Profit (Cloud Foundry Summit 2014)VMware Tanzu
Hackathons are fun events where developers innovate, learn and build development communities. Whether conducted in an academic setting or a corporate one, the aim is to rapidly produce functional code implementations focused around one or more designated themes. Cloud Foundry is a perfect target platform for hackathons, since it supports fast application deployment for continuous integration, abstracted infrastructure, and ample technology choices in terms of buildpacks and services. For those less familiar with cloud computing, Cloud Foundry provides an ideal opportunity for participants to be introduced to new application hosting techniques (Platform as a Service) and learn keys concepts of building applications for the cloud.
Cornelia Davis from Pivotal Software and Catherine Spence from Intel share their experiences in leveraging Cloud Foundry in support of numerous hackathons. They discuss what worked well, and less so, and share with you why and how you can deliver your own hackathon event.

Not just for Developers: Cloud Foundry for Ops! (VMworld 2014)VMware Tanzu
Presented by: Cornelia Davis - Platform Engineer, Cloud Foundry, Pivotal
If you believe everything you’ve read about Platform as a Service (PaaS) you probably think it’s all about the developer. If we told you that a Pivotal CF could auto scale your applications based on current load and provide consolidated logs and monitoring across all app instances, would your operators be happy? If they learned that four levels of high availability would cut down on the middle of the night pages, would they rejoice?
We’ll show the wealth of operational benefits realized with use of Pivotal CF, powered by Cloud Foundry. Learn how Pivotal CF can free your IT Operations staff from fire fighting duties, allowing them to innovate instead.
This presentation covers both the Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime (known by many as just "Cloud Foundry") as well as the Operations Manager (known by many as BOSH). For each, the main components are covered with interactions between them.
Technology is now making effective and direct public communication more efficient than ever, but as you plan your communications strategy, don’t forget about internal communication. To achieve results, it is crucial that the public sector helps employees understand how their work influences the success of the organization.
In this presentation, we’ll go through 5 ideas for improving internal communications and boosting engagement.
The primary goals of this presentation are to:
- Show how to easily deploy Pivotal Cloud Foundry to CenturyLink Cloud with CenturyLink’s Blueprint technology

Watch the archive: https://bloorgroup.webex.com/bloorgroup/lsr.php?RCID=207635ace8d29cb9f557671dd5bb7bcb
Big data offers great promise, but to take advantage of this unwieldy resource, organizations need to think differently. Using traditional methods for data management won't provide the power and agility necessary to meet today's challenges. That's why a new approach to information architecture is taking shape: Platform-as-a-Service. By smartly integrating key legacy systems to powerful cloud-based offerings, companies can iterate quickly and therefore stay ahead of the competition.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Robin Bloor as he explains how cloud platforms are disrupting the status quo and opening new doors for information access, analysis and delivery. He will be briefed by James Bayer of Pivotal, who will tout his company’s multi-cloud enterprise PaaS. He will share a live demo showing how Pivotal users can create and deploy a web application and connect it to a database within minutes.

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.
by Filippo Lambiente - This round table represents a unique chance to meet the main solution vendors and learn directly from their specialists how PaaS adoption can streamline continuous delivery processes and increase team focus and productivity to dramatically improve time to market. Continuous delivery is an agile approach to software delivery that helps to achieve frequent and reliable releases through team collaboration and full automation. Platform as a service (PaaS) is a cloud computing paradigm that enables rapid deployment of applications without the complexity of managing the underlying infrastructure.
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.
Companies across all industries are innovating with software to stay competitive, connect with customers, grow new revenue sources, and transform their business. As an IT operations or applications leader, you need to leverage your VMware investments to innovate faster to deliver applications in weeks, not months. Pivotal CF, the leading enterprise Platform-as-a-Service, powered by Cloud Foundry, enables IT operations teams to do just that: accelerate software delivery on their vSphere-based private clouds, and on VMware’s public cloud, vCloud Air.
With Pivotal CF, you can simultaneously improve developer productivity while gaining huge operational efficiencies.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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.

http://techcrunch.com/2013/12/14/as-software-eats-the-world-non-tech-corporations-are-eating-startups/Either become a software driven enterprise and/or buy a startup with agile teams:Over the past year or two, non-tech corporations have begun to actually open their wallets to arm themselves with talent and technology that can help them enter the digital and data-focused world we now live and work in. It’s no longer Google, Facebook and Yahoo that are competing to acquire the best and the brightest startups in Silicon Valley. There are plenty of corporations in retail, health, agriculture, financial services and other industries that are sending their corp-dev talent to scout out possible acquisitions in the Bay Area and beyond.Let’s take a look at some of the examples. Earlier this year, Monsanto, a multinational chemical, and agricultural biotechnology corporation, bought big data weather tech company Climate Corporation for $1.1 billion. Insurer UnitedHealth Group bought health data analytics company Humedica for hundreds of millions of dollars. A few weeks ago, fitness clothing retailer Under Armourbought fitness tracking app developer MapMyFitness for $150 million. Office supply retailer Staples bought e-commerce personalization company Runa. Payments processing giant First Data has acquired mobile loyalty startup Perka and mobile payments startup Clover in the past year. Retail giant Target has picked up a number of e-commerce companies. Ford Motors bought in-car music app startup Livio. The list goes on.Their main motivation is realizing that software is eating the world.Exitround, the website that launched earlier this year and lets startups anonymously seek acquirers, has been seeing a strong uptick in non-tech, corporate acquirers joining the marketplace to find potential talent and startups.“Their main motivation is realizing that software is eating the world, and they have to add software talent and technologies to their products,” explained Exitround founder Jacob Mullins. On the marketplace, Mullins says that 10 percent of buyers are Fortune 500 companies and 20 percent of acquirers are publicly traded, with a good percentage of the group being non-tech companies

Since 2006 the bank has focused on overseas expansion, and now operates in 40 countries. €22 billion revenue in 2012.Some bankers and analysts think that Google, Facebook, Amazon or the like will not fully enter a highly regulated, low-margin business such as banking. I disagree. What is more, I think banks that are not prepared for such new competitors face certain death.Technology has already transformed many industries. Next in line is banking. In two or three years, only 5 per cent of consumer interaction will be through branches. The rules have changed and a new league of competitors is emerging.
Traditional application deployment process on LHS (actual example from Rakuten) – developer asks infrastructure team to request servers, make a VM, install middleware, configure the load balancers and so on. Developers are out of the deployment workflow in the company - application deployment is stalled waiting on IT Operations to perform 8+ manual steps. That’s just for deploying a single application to an environment.This deployment complexity is amplified each time the application is moved from one environment to another as part of the traditional application lifecycle (see RHS diagram and below quote from Intel)Our traditional application deployment, or path to production, process has several less-than-ideal characteristics. For example, the process to deploy a new custom application consists of multiple manual steps and can take as much as 140 days.Also, developers must have a highly technical understanding of the underlying infrastructure, such as virtual machine provisioning and configuration, OS and middleware, and storage mechanisms. Agility is hampered by a lack of standard business processes, templates, and on-demand scaling capabilities. We believe PaaS will empower developers to be in control from development to deployment—exponentially reducing time to production, optimizing the use of resources, and encouraging the development of cloud-aware applications.
RHS diagram notes from IntelLIMITED AGILITYToday, the process to build and host a custom application is lengthy and complex, often taking several months after an application is initially developed to fully deploy it into production. Each application follows its own path to production process, which includes source code development, test, and production phases. Each phase of the path to production requires a dedicated environment to be provisioned, compounding the complexity of application setup and deployment. The typical application lifecycle includes 75 individual steps, only 9 percent of which are fully automated. The entire process can take 130 to 140 days for new custom applications, and 30 to 40 days for version updates. Other milestones in the application lifecycle, such as maintenance, new releases, and end-of-life, are also characterized by multiple steps and minimal automation, as illustrated RHS diagram. By the time the application is landed, it could be out of date or no longer relevant, resulting in lost revenue opportunities.
Old world:Developer asks infrastructure team to request servers, make a VM, install middleware, configure the load balancers and so on - application deployment is stalled waiting onIT Operations to manually configure complex middleware. New World PCF:Simplified to 3 easy verbsResult is App Deployment is reduced from Days/Hours to minutes and seconds with Pivotal CF, with a radical increase in application deployment speed and business agility due to the ability to rapidly deploy, receive feedback and iterate.
Adeveloper can push an application and have an “it just works™” experience. The general recommendation is that developers should not configure the environment that an application uses when running in Cloud Foundry.An application developer shouldn’t have to mess about with details like memory settings or configuring the container to work with a bound service.Pivotal CF Runtime and buildpacks infer these and other details automatically, which saves developers time and effort. We’ve put a lot of effort into making the buildpack “just work”.One of the features we’re most proud of is the work the Java buildpack does to intelligently sizethe different memory regions of the JRE
Cloud Foundry PaaSAn application runs in a DEA, which is a droplet execution agent. The Cloud Controller orchestrates the routing and lifecycle of all DEAs in the pool. Routers manage application traffic. Health Manager reports mismatched application states to the CC. A servicebroker provides an interface for services (native or external). A messaging bus manages all system communication. Apps are accessed directly through the router while web and CLI clients (e.g., vmc, STS) access Cloud Controller via RESTful services.
Rakuten traditional process on lhs – developer asks infrastructure team to request servers, make a VM, install middleware, configure the load balancers and so on. Developers are out of the deployment workflow in the company. After they introduced rPaaS with Cloud Foundry, the developer just says “push his application(s)” to deploy their applications. Some of the developers integrated push with Jenkins so everything in the deployment process is automated.As a result, from actual users they saved on infrastructure operation costs/reduced by 90%. Benefits not only for application developers but for infrastructure engineers to free up time to develop new things for infrastructure.
