Cloud Foundry Reviews

CloudFoundry is easy to learn and use; the learning curve was minimal, and I was able to host and run applications within minutes. Hosting microservices and simple websites is a breeze, and the supported technologies in containers are reasonably broad. Scale your implementation with a few clicks, manage environment variables outside of the code, and do blue-green deployments to minimize (or even eliminate) downtime on application deployments.

Troubleshooting larger application deployments is sometimes tricky if you rely on console logs for application logging; I would recommend piping logs to a secondary log source for parsing when operating at an enterprise scale.

Consider CloudFoundry as the first step for development teams who haven't developed in a containerized environment previously. Stateless microservices, static content, and simple websites are great candidates. Be wary that more complex deployments, such as those requiring advanced state management or complex transformation processing, may require advanced container orchestration knowledge or re-architecture.

CloudFoundry is a significant enabler for cloud migration and containerized development, helping developers to be more productive by shifting focus from building an entire application hosting stack to primarily building business functionality. Working with a manifest-based container recipe makes it is easy to move your application from one environment to another, with build-packs providing a simplified hosting footprint.

Seamless deployment of application on the cloudfoundry and its available in next seconds.

Its blue green deployment works seamlessly in context of continuous deployment (CI/CD). Its provided different integration connector helps developer to integrate quickly with other systems e.g: Jenkins via webhook.

Its platform as a service is also makes developer life easier to quick setup of account and deploy application instead of managing underlying setup.

Its provided Buildpacks does not supports every technologies such as JAVA EE (Jakarta EE) instead of that developer must have to create its own buildpack or just utlize plain JAVA to create webservices which is difficult to modernize the application code. There should be atleast an view for underline system operations for monitoring or evaluation of performance which is totally missing at the time.

Cloud Foundry works very well both in a hosted or local solution and in multiple environments. We can integrate backup services through BOSH and the way developers can interact with their own deployment CF CLI. Cloud Foundry offers a wide range of application services, offering a variety of clouds. Cloud Foundry is well integrated into the SAP cloud platform.

The application troubleshooting tools need some improvements. Debugging, console, ssh, etc. 2 Limited training available to learn how to install and configure large-scale open-source cloud foundry. Limited training available to learn to install and configure large-scale open-source cloud foundry.

Mailing lists are a good resource, PaaS based on Docker is excellent if you need something small and simple, beyond a couple of teams. CF offers great value. The decision is based on cost, the number of applications, the size of the team, etc. You must be prepared to install a large number of elements throughout the day on many virtual machines. It is easy to scale them up and down according to the application's load.

The critical business problem is to be able to continuously and frequently improve software applications to reflect changes or the changing needs of customers. We wanted more than the widely used PaaS solutions, Azure DevOps: developers can automate everything to achieve a distributed continuous delivery system: implemented as microservices. A distributed team, with different release cycles compatible with different programming languages. Rapid iteration of development and quick deployment on multiple platforms.

Simplicity - quite easy to get started with for web applications

Flexibility - Fits extremely well into an agile software dev process of frequent releases. Deployments can be easily automated with CI/CD systems.

No free options like Heroku for tinkering around.

Ease of use of deploying applications and services, Cloud Foundry works very well in both a hosted or on-prem solution and working with multiple environments. The release schedule gives a very fast response to bugs or features provided to the open source community.

This tool will make your life so much easier.

for developer the command line utilities make pushing an application really easy

Limited training avaiable to learn how to install and configure open source cloud foundry in large scale.

.Technical and coding insights given in meetup and the best place for networking for jobs

Very few webinars for people to find who are living very far

More webinars

The major problem is scalability which the cloud found art has helped us solve through virtual machines

Ease of use of deploying applications and services using BOSH, great integration with ansible playbook, ability to scale using DEA's and high availability of core Cloud Foundry services to provide high resiliency and redundancy. Cloud Foundry works very well in both a hosted or on-prem solution and working with multiple environments. The release schedule gives a very fast response to bugs or features provided to the open source community.

Ability to assign applications and services to dedicated DEA's to ensure spread across specific hypervisors. Initial set up of manifest files can be time consuming and the automated tools are not production ready

Running Cloud Foundry on Openstack, ability to deploy a standardized platform as a service across both private and public cloud. Gives greater flexibility on scaling applications and providing near 99.9% uptime of applications and services.

Cloud Foundry offers a broad range of application services provides a choice of clouds. It has been adopted by some of the thought leaders across the world. With its broad vision and fast development, it can be a great platform by choice to the newer companies who want to migrate to cloud.

Cloud Foundry should improve upon the following:

1. Make it more friendly to business users. Currently it is very focused on engineers and some business person looking for a flexible cloud solution may find it tough to understand the deep technical jargon that the website carries.

The ease of blue-green deploy, very easy to run two different versions and switch over with 0 downtime.

It requires a lot of VMs to run it, you can't run a small version on 2 or 3 VMs.

They need to have a good platform to install on, Amazon or VMWare are the best choices. You need to be prepared to install a lot of items over the course of a whole day on many VMs. Prepare 20+ VMs of decent size if you wish to have a good environment.

Fast iteration of development and rapid deployment to multiple platforms.

zero downtime deployments

configuration capabilities together with spring cloud
