Keynote: CF Application Runtime Demo: Weighted Routing (Istio/Envoy), Multiple Custom App Ports, and App Revisions - Dieu Cao, Director of Product Management, Pivotal
Have you ever wanted to route traffic for a url to multiple applications in proportions that you can specify?  
How about specifying multiple custom application ports for an application to listen on? Perhaps for a hard-coded listening port? Or for exposing a management endpoint on a different route?
What about tracking changes to your application and being able to easily rollback to a previous version?

In this demo, I'll show how some of the latest features in CF Application Runtime work together to achieve all of the above, making application developer lives easier so they can focus on delivering business value.

The New Stack Pancake Breakfast
Come join The New Stack for a short stack in historic Philadelphia.

Digital transformation is not about adopting a single new technology — it’s about adapting to a world that’s now ordered around technology. To build for the future, your organization must develop new systems for constant learning and the ability to turn on a dime. A huge part of this is designing an interoperable IT strategy in which your chosen technologies work in tandem as part of a multi-platform strategy. Your organization’s success will be measured by the ability to master this new state of change — now and in the future.

Pancakes are first come, first served — they run out fast.

  • 7:45am pancakes served.
  • 8:00-8:45am panel discussion.

We encourage questions and audience participation — 5 free raffle tickets for every question asked. The lucky winner will get an official Arduino Starter Kit.

Thank you to Cloud Foundry and Pivotal for making this breakfast possible.

Introduction to the Cloud Foundry 101: Getting Started Track - Xiujiao Gao, Stark & Wayne & Jared Ruckle, Pivotal
This track covers the most important topics to help you get started with Cloud Foundry (CF). Regardless of your role, you’ll learn how to get up and running with CF. You will learn that CF supports a wide range of application architectures, so you know what workloads are a good fit for the platform.

You’ll learn from veteran CF operators. These folks have deployed and run the platform at scale and will share what they have learned.

What about the developer experience? We will take a deep look at examining how to use CF to manage applications and backing services. We will learn about building pipelines, and how CI/CD can plug into CF.

This track has something for everyone because all the technologies that touch CF are so diverse. We will learn about .NET with CF. If you’re more familiar with Kubernetes, you can learn how CF compares with this orchestrator.

Services are extremely important for apps. So we focus on how the open service broker framework works, and how it helps you run services across CF and Kubernetes.

We also know that security is important, authentication and authorization are always hot topics. You will learn how to deploy and use UAA both inside and outside of CF.

And finally, every vibrant open-source community needs as a growing pool of thoughtful, responsible contributors. How can you take part? We’ll discuss that too.

Metrics Driven Blue-green Deployments using Spinnaker’s Cloud Foundry Integration - Amith Nambiar & Pas Apicella, Pivotal
Blue-green deployment is a technique that reduces downtime and risk by running two identical production environments called Blue and Green.

At any time, only one of the environments is live, with the live environment serving all production traffic. Traditionally, the decision to switch from Blue to the Green environment has been by doing some basic manual tests in the (new) Green environment and mapping and unmapping routes from the new and old environments.

Spinnaker (www.spinnaker.io) is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform for releasing software changes with high velocity and confidence.

Spinnaker can be used for automated Canary analysis. Canary is a deployment process in which a change is partially rolled out, then evaluated against the current deployment (baseline) to ensure that the new deployment is operating at least as well as the old. This evaluation is done using key metrics that are chosen when the canary is configured.

In this talk, we will present to you on:
1. What integrations exists in Spinnaker for Cloud Foundry and how to set it up.
2. Why is Blue Green Deployments with Spinnaker better for Cloud Foundry applications?
3. How to do Blue Green deployments on Cloud Foundry using Spinnaker.
4. Configure a pipeline and metrics for Canary analysis
5. End to end demo of configuring a pipeline and how it all works together on Cloud Foundry

Double, Double Toil and Trouble; SRE Transformation through Automation and Collaboration - Bozhidar Lenchov, Corey Innis & Ryan Collins, Pivotal
As security, reliability and continuous integration become more of a concern for organizations of all sizes, DevOps teams have to come up with ways to support these increasing workload demands. Operating a Platform as a Service, managed by a team over multiple timezones, presents additional technical and communicational challenges which we've tried to identify and address.

We all have many tedious chores related to maintaining on our production environment(s). So, we automate the toil; now what do we do? Oh, we can start collaborating with other teams to help reduce their toil! Now, we've enabled self-service, so now what's next? Oh, we can share these learnings via workshops because it turns out that dev teams also benefit from this knowledge base and set of practices. That is, we scale!

In this presentation Bozhidar, Corey and Ryan from the Pivotal CloudOps teams in Toronto and San Francisco will outline some of the automation and practices used in their day-to-day operations. Those include detection of abusive workloads, automating platform updates and backups and auditing expiring credentials and potentially-malicious clients to prevent downtime and remain within SLI/SLOs. We'll also discuss practices around handling interrupts and incidents, working remotely, enabling teams to self-service requests and sharing context within the team and to the broader organization.

The Subtle Art of Keeping your Broker Multi-platform Compatible - Georgi Lozev, SAP
The Open Service Broker API is a standard which allows different vendors to deliver their services to applications running within Cloud Native platforms. Today there are two platform implementations Cloud Foundry && Kubernetes and thousands of brokers adhering to the specifications. As we all know often the devil is hidden in the details and while the specifications defines the general contract for platform to broker communications there are lots of pitfalls which could make your broker incompatible. So if you’re a broker author or plan to be and want to give your best shot in making your broker platform agnostic, then this session is for you!

We will start by giving an overview of the different types of broker based on their deployment model like hosted brokers, one deployed alongside the platform or on top of it. Then we will show you some pitfalls we came across while working on CF as a platform implementations and last but not least will go over good practices and future improvements that should keep our brokers multi-platform compatible.

A New Way of Deploying .Net Applications at Nasdaq - Bhavani Yellapragada, Nasdaq & Madhav Sathe, Pivotal
Nasdaq adopted PCF to start the modernization journey, starting with a legacy .Net application, in order to achieve business agility and velocity. Prior to adoption of PCF and Concourse, Nasdaq relied on home-grown solutions for OS and configuration management using diverse technologies such as Terraform, Puppet, DSC, WSUS and Ansible. This added extra burden on operations team to maintain the automation scripts and manage the technology sprawl. The ticket based systems slowed down Nasdaq’s development teams. And yet there was always a challenge with snowflake configurations. Furthermore, the OS upgrade required every month meant downtime for application.
In this session hear Nasdaq’s journey of cultural change along with the adoption of the platform as a product approach. Operators will learn best practices regarding use of Powershell and Concourse for automating platform installation and patching, use of isolation segments and CredHub to address InfoSec needs. Learn lessons on engaging with InfoSec team and help them enhance their checklist for modern cloud native paradigm. Finally, learn how Nasdaq drove real business outcomes by achieving higher business velocity, zero-downtime patching and greater stability.

My First BOSH Release - Rebecca Putinski & Peter Tran, Pivotal
BOSH is a tool that unifies release engineering, deployment, and lifecycle management of small and large-scale cloud software by enabling operators deploy software over hundreds of VMs. But how do you get started with packaging your product so it can be deployed, versioned, and managed by BOSH? With BOSH releases, of course! A BOSH release is a versioned collection of configuration properties and templates, start-up scripts, source code, binary artifacts, and everything else required to build and deploy software in a reproducible way. In this talk, we will take you through the process of bringing a new BOSH release to life. We will demonstrate how to create a new release with dependencies and source code, and you’ll learn about the lifecycle hooks BOSH provides for release authors.

Live Migration Demo of a WebSphere-based Java EE Monolith to Cloud Foundry - Thorsten Jakoby & Matthias Haeussler, Novatec Consulting
The intention of this talk is to show a live step-by-step approach to migrate a monolithic WebSphere application to Cloud Foundry. It starts showing the application running in it’s WebSphere environments and finishes running the migrated app on Cloud Foundry. On the migration journey the following steps are shown:

* Deployment and runtime on WebSphere
* Analysis of application in terms of required code changes and connected backend services
* Configuration and bring up of the application on WebSphere Liberty Profile
* Deployment and runtime on PCF Dev using Community Buildpack for Liberty
* Migration of backend services to Cloud Platform (Microsoft Azure in this example)
* Deployment and runtime of application on PCF on Azure
* Application of strangler pattern to start slicing the monolith into Microservices.

It is based on a talk given at the User track of Cloud Foundry Summit in Basel 2018. It was received very well, got a lot of good feedback and brought up interesting discussions with the attendees. While this talk was very conceptual, this new version is intended to demonstrate the involved steps in a live example and perform the migration within the given time of 30 minutes.

Air-Gapping: A Moat for the 21st Century - Michael Ferris, Stark & Wayne
The best way to ensure that an unauthorized, external bad actor cannot take advantage of your platform is to make sure they cannot reach it in the first place. For this reason, many organizations choose to run their PaaS in an on-prem, air-gapped environment, meaning there is no path between the public internet and your PaaS, either inbound or outbound. However, air-gapping a PaaS without using the proper processes and tools can drastically slow down your Operators and undermine the benefits that the organization adopted the PaaS for in the first place. In this talk, Mike will outline the implications of running your PaaS in an air-gapped environment, including changes to the installation process, the running of apps, and the ongoing maintenance of your air-gapped platform. Vince White from Agile Defense will share his war stories with you about the most common pitfalls of running a PaaS in an air-gapped environment and how to avoid them.

Lossless Upgrade of BOSH Deployment - Saurav Mondal, SAP
A BOSH deployment update involves the recreation of VMs while preserving the data on the persistence disk. But what about the in-memory data which was very much part of the deployment and was being used by the application. For example, the shared memory buffers used by databases such as PostgreSQL or transient messages used by messaging engines like RabbitMQ or the TCP connections for an application all of which are stored in memory. For a PaaS provider it becomes important to consider the in-memory data for an update use case so as to abide by SLAs and to avoid any performance impact on the customer used service instances.

In this talk, Ashish and Shashank will explain the problems we have observed during updates for services such as PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and how we could mitigate them by preserving the in-memory state. The proposed solution can be easily plugged into BOSH drain scripts and provides a seamless experience in a live migration whereby preserving the end-user experience pre and post update. This talk will be followed by a short demo on a sample use case.

How NOT to Build a Pipeline - Mirah Gary, Pivotal
Pipelines are the infrastructure we use to test and deliver our code. We work with them every day, but sometimes they behave in unexpected ways.

We will go over common failure modes and issues encountered in Concourse pipleines, and understand what we can do to prevent and solve these pain points.

Being able to build pipelines that work for you is critical for effective dev/ops. By sharing our own mistakes, we hope that the audience will be able to recognize them when they happen and know what to do to fix the problems.

After this talk, attendees will:
- be familiar common mistakes found in pipelines and how to recognize and correct them
- be able to build pipelines that facilitate the development process rather than hinder it
- understand how to refactor and improve their pipelines

Creating a Portable Cloud Foundry on Kubernetes - Joseph Lewis III & Matthew Broomfield, Google
In the past few years Kubernetes has become the de-facto cloud platform, but many until now Cloud Foundry applications haven't been able to take advantage of its benefits. Joseph and Matt have been working on Project Eirini to bring the power of Kubernetes to CF operators. Simultaneously they’ve re-built the GCP Service Broker on Terraform allowing it to provision infrastructure on any major cloud and natively on Kubernetes. Together, these projects let operators deploy Cloud Foundry and application dependencies (databases, caches, etc.) into a self-contained, cloud-agnostic Kubernetes cluster which reduces overhead, increases developer velocity, and returns control of the stack to the business.

Building a DIY Home Assistant with Google Cloud Platform, Cloud Foundry, and Knative - Bryan Friedman & Brian McClain, Pivotal
With the help of the new Google Cloud Platform Service Broker, it’s simple to connect our Cloud Foundry applications to Google’s diverse set of services like Dialogflow, Speech-to-Text, Cloud Storage, and PubSub. Now with Knative, it’s also easier than ever to write and deploy functions to respond to any event you can think of.

In this presentation, we’ll demonstrate how we tie all these pieces together to create our own voice-activated home assistant that can understand and respond to us. We can have it play music, tell the time, or do just about anything else we can develop. Thanks to the flexibility of these platforms, we can easily and quickly add new functionality to our assistant with just a little bit of code. You’ll see the power that this combination of technologies can bring and just how effective and extensible event-driven architecture can be.

P to V to C: The Value of Bringing “Everything” to Containers - Cornelia Davis, Pivotal
Roughly twenty years ago VMware began a revolution in how IT systems would be managed. While initially used for only a small subset of their applications, eventually enterprises would move the vast majority of ALL workloads into virtual machines – many had “P(hysical) to V(irtual)” initiatives to accelerate the movement.

Today we stand at a similar crossroad with the widespread availability of container-based systems and particularly, with the extraordinary embrace and expansion of the Kubernetes ecosystem. Similar to the early days of infrastructure virtualization, organizations are already realizing benefits from containerization of some of their workloads. The question then is, first, how much of an enterprise IT portfolio can benefit can and should be moved into container-based platforms and second, what are the new tools and processes needed to fully realize those advantages? Together, Cloud Foundry Application Runtime (CFAR) and Cloud Foundry Container Runtime (CFCR) can capture “everything.”

In this session, we will examine the benefits that containerization can bring over and above that of the traditional infrastructure virtualization – the Devops efficiencies that come from the container image are only the beginning. We’ll also study the important role that infrastructure virtualization continues to play in a containerized IT ecosystem – just as virtualization did not eliminate physical machines, nor does containerization eliminate virtual machines. We’ll study containers, pods, controllers, policies and more – the building blocks of the next generation IT landscapes – and the new practices they enable.

By the end of the session, you’ll be starting to think about your V(irtual) to C(ontainer) initiative.

Practical Guide to Frictionless Cloud Native Security for DevOps - Sergey Matochkin, Comcast
"Great job on getting all patches applied!" – said no CIO ever...

As the transition to micro-service architecture has accelerated service delivery at Comcast - security, audit, and compliance added friction and hasn't felt the same love. This inspired us to think about how we can change the approach to security, versus just doing the same things only harder.

When at Comcast we hosted a live demo session showing the possibility of transforming security to raise safety to a new level by going faster with significantly less effort, we had a lot of interested developers registered to attend. What if we could use many of the current methodologies and practices just in a slightly different way to make our products secure by default while removing undifferentiated heavy lifting? What if we could implement the Cloud Native Security principals across the entire SDLC?

In this session, you’ll learn about practical steps and implementations that help to accelerate application development lifecycle while, at the same time, strengthen security of the applications. Some of the steps include integration of Cloud Native platforms like Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes with secret management systems to offload DevOps teams from handling passwords and to enable password-free service delivery.

Debugging the Routing Tier - Angela Chin & Nitya Dhanushkodi, Pivotal
As the entrypoint to Cloud Foundry, routing-tier related errors come from a variety of places. While some of these errors are indications of actual bugs in Cloud Foundry source code, there can be a number of other root causes-- misbehaving applications, misconfigured load balancers, and infrastructure issues, just to name a few. In order to isolate and debug these problems, it becomes important to know which data to collect, how to collect it, and what in the data can indicate the root cause.

In this talk, Angela and Nitya will cover what information is useful to collect and what to look for in the data to systematically eliminate possible causes of the problem. Drawing on their experiences as members of the CF Routing team, they will go through issues that operators have seen in the past, and how they use tools such as routing logs, pprof, flamegraphs, and wireshark to debug, isolate, and work around these issues.

Your organization has decided to run Cloud Foundry. Until recently, all apps pushed to cloud foundry would run within application runtime: Diego. However, ongoing Cloud Foundry-Kubernetes integrations as well as projects such as Eirini are increasing the options for Cloud Foundry container and application runtimes. Now your organization is faced with a decision: which runtime, or runtimes, will your Cloud Foundry use to best fit your business model? In this talk, Dr. Gao and Mike Ferris outline the different runtime scenarios that are possible and then compare their benefits and drawbacks. They will share their experiences from real-world use of Diego and non-Diego Cloud Foundry runtimes in various industries from their roles as consultants at Stark & Wayne.

In this talk, join Richard as he walks through a handful of different types of applications—batch jobs, streaming pipelines, .NET apps, TCP routable apps, and more—and deploys each to Cloud Foundry. At the end of the talk, you'll walk away with a checklist of workloads that are suitable for a Cloud Foundry environment.

Deep Dive: Cracks in the Foundation: Operating Cloud Foundry in the Real World - Stephanie Mathis, Technology Manager & Josh Ghiloni, Pivotal
There are dozens of talks from various conferences over the years that talk about how successful Cloud Foundry has made their business. Nobody seems to talk, however, about all the bumps in the road they hit on the way to that success. Stephanie has seen her fair share of bumps as a Technology Manager at a major insurance company as they deploy massive foundations, and in his role as a Solutions Architect with Pivotal, Josh has seen common and uncommon problems that plague customers from all industry verticals. In this talk, they will present their top 10 biggest problems they (and maybe you too!) have encountered, and how they can be avoided, mitigated, or solved altogether.

How Big is Too Big? Problems with Scale at T-Mobile - Brendan Aye & James Webb, T-Mobile
Over the last three years, T-Mobile has leaned in heavily on Cloud Foundry and the boost it brought to developer productivity. As the platform popularity "hockey-sticked", so did problems with operating large foundations.

Through it all, we struggled to find answers to two important questions:
How big is too big for a foundation?
How many foundations is too many?

Without clear answers, we stumbled in to the limit for both for our environment. Running entirely on-premise, hardware constraints underpinned most of the problems faced, as well as the possible solutions. We'll walk through some of the issues that came up in our larger foundations and what we did about them.

Extending Cloud Foundry at Scale - Addressing the Non-12-factor App Gap with CFCR - Colby Johnston & Brett Mayer, Comcast
For many years Comcast has been successfully running and managing Cloud Foundry for stateless applications and micro-services at scale. Over time, we have had to address the requirements of our non-12-factor apps as well. We have chosen Container Runtime (CFCR) platform for these stateful applications by deploying multi-site / multi-cloud environments. As an extension of Cloud Foundry Application Runtime, it allows customers to do self service deployments and scaling of application stacks and make use of additional features such as service catalog/market place, eternal DNS and persistent storage. Join us to learn and provide feedback on how we have leveraged Bosh and Concourse to efficiently and predictably deploy and manage CFCR at scale.

Testing Production Environments and Verifying Open Service Broker API Compliance - Oliver Wolf, anynines
You’ve developed a Service Broker and want to test your broker’s implementation? Maybe you're considering writing a new Service Broker and want some kind of test suite to validate against.

anynines makes use of two different kind of tests suites when it comes to automating deployments with the Open Service Broker API. The first ones are the “BOSH releases tests” and are used to verify that service instances behave like expected during failure scenarios. While these kind of tests are used in the CI/CD pipeline of the anynines Data Services, they don’t verify compliance against the OSBAPI or whether a concrete customer production setup is working correctly.

This talk focuses on the latest type of tests and shows how a generic test suite that verifies production platform environments and OSBAPI compliance can be used for different kind of data services.

Deep Dive: Cloud Foundry Stream Processing - Monitoring Comcast’s Outside Plant - Charles (Mike) Graham & Dan Carroll, Comcast Cable Communications
Comcast manages over 2 million miles of fiber and coax, and over 40 million in home devices. This “outside plant” is subject to adverse conditions from severe weather to power grid outages to construction-related disruptions. Maintaining the health of this large and important infrastructure requires a distributed, scalable, reliable and fast information system capable of real-time processing and rapid analysis and response. Using Cloud Foundry, Comcast is able to deploy a Java Spring Kafka Streams application for monitoring, problem analysis, metrics reporting and action response for the outside plant.

In this talk, you’ll learn how to create and deploy a Cloud Foundry Kafka Streams application. You will see how to scale the application using partitioning and how to maintain high speed, durable instance-based state. You'll see how easy it is to connect several of these applications (or micro services) together using asynchronous messaging. You will see how to build a REST API using Kafka Streams “interactive queries” that can be used to retrieve the data in the state stores. We will explore the deployment and monitoring mechanisms used to deliver this system as a set of independently deployed components.

Zero-downtime Update of CloudFoundry Applications with Database Migrations - Tsvetan Tsokov, SAP
The blue-green deployment process in CloudFoundry is sufficient for update of applications that don’t have schema changes in database. However, it does not work well when there are database schema changes, since the database as a single-point-of-truth cannot co-exist both in “blue” and in “green” version at the same time. This can be achieved by manually implementing data migration scripts, which is error-prone and time-consuming. To address these challenges a tools and concept, together with the MultiApps project, are developed, providing model for developers to describe their database evolutions.

A Victim of Our Own Success – Overcoming the Challenges of 30,000 AIs - Tim Leong, Comcast
2018 has been a boom year for Cloud Foundry at Comcast. Because of its immense popularity with our development teams, and the easy, repeatable frameworks we have created for transitioning into CF, we have doubled in size from 13,000 AIs to over 30,000 in a single year! It’s been great to see such rapid adoption, but it has come with serious challenges. As we maintain our commitment to the success of teams going Cloud Native, we needed to overcome these obstacles and maintain the success of the platform. It was a hard year, but our team came out of it stronger and better prepared to plan for and respond to rapid changes in demand.

Let us show you how we did it. We will review our most important lessons of the last year.

How the CF Service Mesh Could Solve Identity and Access Management for your Workloads - Tian Wang & Anubha Dubey, Pivotal
As CF integrates the Envoy proxy and the Istio control plane, one of the core areas of interest has been providing security policies for workloads across CFAR and CFCR. Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a key area, mixing end user single sign-on, service-to-service authentication/authorization, and control plane identity concerns. These policies cut across many layers, with much previously implemented as generic boilerplate code from language-specific libraries.

Learn how we plan to change this paradigm and allow you to declare codeless language-agnostic policies the platform will use to provide IAM as a service so you can focus on writing features, not infrastructure.

Knative vs Cloud Foundry: Where are the Overlaps and What are the Differences? - Dr. Michael Maximilien, IBM & Dr. Nic Williams, Stark & Wayne
On a superficial level, when looking at Knative, the function / service platform on top of Kubernetes, you might believe that this is a new version of Cloud Foundry but written using Kubernetes as a backend.

Indeed, using a Knative CLI like Knctl, you can deploy your application from source with `$knctl deploy my-app ...` which is pretty close to `$cf push my-app ...`. But are the similarities skin deep? Where do they differ? And where do they overlap?

In this talk, I will compare and contrast the latest experiences of Cloud Foundry and Knative in order to extract meaningful comparison of their features from a developer perspective. Additionally, I will measure and compare key metrics that affect the developer experience, e.g., time to deploy, time to scale, and other such metrics. Finally, I will also compare and contrast the two platforms on features, e.g., RBAC, plug-ability, scalability, and some performance metrics.

The overall goal is to better understand how these two platforms are going especially as CF is looking to work on top of Kubernetes and therefore have the same backend.

#testedAF: Test All the Things (Not Just Your Units) - Bryon Kroger, United States Air Force & Quynh Tran, Raytheon
The United States Air Force’s Kessel Run has made headlines for the incredible fuel savings from the tanker planner application and for taking their deployment frequency from 5 years to 1 week. What often goes unstated is that they are also building applications where failure carries life and death consequences and, as such, the larger organization they are part of takes testing very seriously. Not only that, they spend even more time on upfront planning than is seen in even the worst offending commercial enterprises. And talking to real end users? Forget about it, they have an active mission to support! Breaking through those barriers took a lot more than just a robust suite of unit tests.

Pivotal Cloud Foundry is key in that it provided the Air Force the platform they needed to ignore all the things below the value line and focus on expanding their testing practice to meet the demands of their enterprise: testing assumptions around building the right thing, building the thing right, and was the right thing built. Find out how Kessel Run established the means to go fast forever, continuously delivering business value their users LOVE by testing all the things!

FaaS: A Contemporary, Comparative Study - Dilleswara Anupoju, Comcast
What is the latest trend that’s catching up in the world of distributed computing? The latest buzz word is FaaS or Serverless- though serverless is a misnomer because these functions still need a run time environment some where; FaaS is simply a new level of abstraction above PaaS & IaaS so that developers can run and deploy snippets of code easily.

As the popularity for FaaS grows, there is a corresponding increase in the number of FaaS flavors, available in the market; each offering is unique in terms of the capabilities and the level of complexity/abstraction.


In this talk Dill Anupoju would like present a comparative study to describe what's out there, how they work so that devs can choose from wide variety of options that's right for their use case

Deep Dive: Chaos Engineering for Cloud Foundry Platform - Karun Chennuri & Ramesh Krishnaram, T-Mobile USA Inc
Modern Internet-scale microservice architectures exhibit complex communication behavior and failure scenarios with chaotic behavior (a.k.a the Butterfly Effect) that may lead to large scale disruptive events. This complexity comes from the Cloud Foundry components, services running thereon, and the underlying infrastructure necessary to provide highly available compute, network, security, storage, persistence services. For a distributed microservice architecture to function ideally, these elements must all work in tandem and tolerate failure. To systematically verify that a system can tolerate failure, a disciplined approach is necessary. One such approach is “Chaos Engineering.”

Cloud Foundry is key in T-Mobile’s infrastructure, undoubtedly one of the largest CF platforms in the world, running business critical operations with over 30,000+ containers. Building resilency, self-healing and High Availability in to systems and apps – is one of the core factors that decides the success of our group. This proposal demonstrates the approach and the custom tools T-Mobile has been working on to purposefully breaking systems, identifying weaknesses, taking corrective actions and preparing for Game Days.

Here at T-Mobile we started addressing Chaos Engineering at 2 different levels - “Platform” & “App” level Chaos Engineering. In this talk, we would like to discuss the architecture details, drivers that we had opensourced to the community, Demo walk-through on features and future steps. As a part of this talk, Karun would like to demo the following features:

Simulate App level attacks
* Bad gateway errors at app level
* Latency between service and database
* Kill an app/service app is dependent on

Simulate Platform attacks:
* Terminate VM instances
* Host level attacks – CPU, Memory hogs
* Advanced Network Traffic attacks
* Advanced Packet Level attacks

Technology:
Python, Go, Spring boot, Java, PCF, Linux

All this put together helps any large technology company in a systematic approach to verifying reliability of the Cloud Foundry platform.

Cloud Foundry 101 for Kubernetes Users - Steffen Uhlig, IBM & Oleksandr Slynko, Pivotal
This talk will take Kubernetes users from “zero to hero” with Cloud Foundry. Kubernetes is fantastic, but since you are at CF Summit you are probably tempted by the Cloud Foundry promise of letting you “just push code” and not worry about the details of containers, and scheduling, and scaling. But Cloud Foundry does still have a learning curve -- this talk is here to help you over it!

Kubernetes is meant to be used by operators, not developers. Developers shouldn’t need to care about the inner workings of Kubernetes such as Pods, Services, StatefulSets, Ingresses and how to use and configure them just to get their application running, right? This is where Cloud Foundry comes in.

In this talk, we will explore what Kubernetes users need to know when using Cloud Foundry. We’ll get familiar with CF's own container scheduler -Diego- and its differences with Kubernetes. We will also look at how, using Eirini, you can get up and running with CF on your existing Kubernetes cluster with a couple of helm installs. And we’ll compare, hands-on, the effort it takes to bring up an application from scratch in both Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes and see it running in the cloud!

Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes: A Peanut Butter and Jelly Application Sandwich - Carl Swanson & Christopher Rosen, IBM
While debates continue about whether to use Cloud Foundry or Kubernetes, the real question is how these two make better apps together. So what does this have to with sandwiches? Cloud Foundry developers can rapidly create and deploy (peanut butter), while Kubernetes gives you flexibility to manage and scale complex micro-services (jelly). In this session, we’ll show workloads with both Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes, ones that simplify security with cross-compute tools and that are portable across multi-clouds. And just like the multi-facet sandwich, these solutions together give a truly exceptional overall cloud-native application workload experience.

NOTICE: Please be advised that presentation doesn’t contain peanuts or fruit-spread, and is gluten-free. But it will make you hungry.

Tolstoy's Guide to Debugging Your Applications - Xiujiao Gao, Stark & Wayne
Tolstoy has a famous quote in his novel, Anna Karenina, “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” In this presentation, Dr. Gao is going to show you, as “Happy Apps are all alike; every unhappy App is unhappy in its own way.” More importantly, she will present the common issues encountered when you push and run your apps, as well as share the experiences that her team has acquired over years of debugging applications on CF. In addition to discussing the specific tools and methods her team uses, she will also share the philosophy of effective debugging.

Then, following the spirit of this philosophy, you will be able to handle debugging any application, even if the error is the dreaded ‘Unknown Error.’ This will enable you to avoid many issues before they negatively impact your business.

It’s Dangerous to Go Alone! Lessons Learnt from Onboarding New Cloud Foundry Contributors - Denise Yu & Andrew Su, Pivotal
Pivotal Cloud Foundry has hundreds of engineers working on Open Source Cloud Foundry and PCF, but the majority join us with no previous experience working in this project space. It is challenging to design an effective and empathetic onboarding program for engineers who are new to platform development, but technical onboarding is one of the most critical components for building an inclusive engineering culture, at home and within the larger Open Source community. In this talk, we will provide an overview of Pivotal’s “Onboarding Week” ritual, and showcase how we implement various Extreme Programming practices to facilitate learning, feedback, and continuous improvement.

At the core of all of these practices is psychological safety: a critical component for creating an environment where it is completely safe to fail and explore. By the end of this talk, all attendees -- whether they are engineers, managers, leadership, or somewhere in between -- will learn how to assess the effectiveness of their current onboarding practices and gain some new insights on how to design empathetic onboarding programs.

This is Not a Technology Problem: Leveraging Culture and Process to Make the Most of Cloud Foundry - Colin Simmons, EngineerBetter
The road to running Cloud Foundry at scale is not without its challenges. Oftentimes it is easy to search for a software solution for everything but what if there is a better way? Through delivery of dojos, healthchecks, training, and continuing enablement Colin Simmons has found that sometimes changes to culture and process yield better results.

As an engineer at EngineerBetter, Colin has the privilege of helping many companies deploy and manage their Cloud Foundry foundations in industries including financial, energy, security, and medical. The industries may differ but the challenges are often the same. Common ones include: struggles reducing cycle times, difficulties on-boarding new team members, or managing a globally distributed team. Sometimes a non-technical approach can move mountains.

Join Colin as he leverages his experience to identify symptoms, drill into causes, and more importantly explain actionable solutions to these and other problems that made him say “This is not a technology problem…”

Getting Started with Knative: The Way to Build Serverless - Bryan Friedman & Brian McClain, Pivotal
The open source serverless framework space is crowded and complex. Each unique offering approaches functions differently, with varying methods for triggering, scaling, event formatting. But one thing that most everybody can agree on is to build on top of Kubernetes. With that as the only common ground though, there is still too much fragmentation for developers to wade through when deciding on the right open source FaaS solution.

That's where Knative comes in. An open source project from Google, Pivotal, and other industry leaders, Knative provides a set of common tooling on top of Kubernetes to help developers build functions. It extends Kubernetes by combining Istio with Custom Resource Definitions to enable a higher-level of abstraction for developers. This brings support for things like source-to-container builds, autoscaling, routing, and event sourcing. In this session, we will explore all the components of Knative together and demonstrate how it can be used to effectively deliver a serverless experience to developers on any cloud.

"Kube" your Enthusiasm: Bringing Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes Together with Project Eirini - Julz Friedman, IBM & Mario Nitchev, SAP
Is container scheduling commoditised yet?

The Eirini project (now an “official” incubator project in the Runtime PMC) is bringing pluggable container scheduling to the Cloud Foundry Application Runtime. In other words: the `cf push` developer experience we all love, with your choice of container orchestrator - including Kubernetes - under the covers.

This session introduces the Eirini project, talks through the reasons behind it, updates the audience on the latest progress (passing CATs! available in beta! ready to try out!) and tells you what it means for your developers (not much) and your operators (potentially, quite a lot!).

The speakers will also demo getting up and running with Eirini on Kubernetes using a single Helm chart. After this the audience - and their Kubernetes-loving friends and colleagues! - will be able to try out the `cf push` developer experience, going from code to first-class Deployments, Pods and Services in your existing Kubernetes cluster, all in a single command!

170 Live Apps Migrated to PCF in 18 Months – This is What We Learned - Don Fossgreen, Terry Miles & Jason Nash, West Corporation
West Corporation is a global provider of communication and network infrastructure services. West has a diverse portfolio of solutions that include unified communications services, safety services, and interactive services such as automated notifications, telecom services and specialty agent services. For years West was effectively a holding company, operating each of these industry groups independently. With dozens of acquisitions over the last decade, West’s technology portfolio became extremely diverse. In November of 2017 West Corp was acquired by Apollo Global Management and our transformation from a holding company to an operating company began.

West partnered with Pivotal to enable the consolidation and standardization of our portfolio. We identified over 170 applications running in diverse technology stacks for migration into Pivotal Cloud Foundry and later enabled Pivotal Container Service for those that remained. West partnered with Pivotal Services to drive the technology, process, and cultural change necessary to complete the transformation while simultaneously undergoing the organizational, staffing, and cultural changes that result for an ownership change.

One and a half years into this undertaking we have learned many lessons we want to share with others starting their adoption journeys. The consistent theme is that PCF and PKS just work, but that in order to be successful, an organization needs to enable their teams with supporting technologies, streamlined process, and a culture of innovation. With representation from Architecture, Operations, and Development we would like to share with you the things that will either ensure your team’s adoption success or will slow your progress and limit the return on your investment.

Deep Dive: Self-driving Pipelines: Building the Unbreakable Continuous Delivery Pipeline with Cloud Foundry, Concourse and Dynatrace - Michael Villiger, Dynatrace
Shift-Left, Shift-Right, *-As-Code, and Self-Healing are some of the latest buzzwords when it comes to building and deploying cloud-native architectures. In this session Mike Villiger will bring these buzzwords to life.

Mike will cover how the Shifting-Right of build, deployment, and environment metadata and the Shifting-Left of deep performance information enables faster release cycles. Attendees will also learn how a common source of metrics across the tool chain can enable actionable feedback loops across all team members regardless of the hat they may be wearing on any given day. Mike will live-demo an End-to-End Continuous Delivery Pipeline with automated metrics-based quality gates between pre-production stages, an automatic post production deployment approval step as well as how self-healing (auto-remediation) can really work, with specifications all defined in source control.

While this example unbreakable pipeline was built using Concourse, Cloud Foundry, and Dynatrace, the concepts behind this implementation apply to all other CI/CD Tool Chains (Jenkins, XL Release, etc.)

The Genesis of Cloud Foundry: Using Open Source Tools to Easily Deploy Production Ready CF in Less than a Day - Charlie Baum, Comcast
This session will discuss the open source toolchains that Comcast used to create an operations control plane consisting of a jumpbox, bosh director, concourse, secrets management, and services broker to then centrally deploy and manage distributed, multi-cloud open source CF deployments. Charlie will also discuss why Comcast chose this architecture, how they scaled this model and how they convinced their application teams to onboard over 13,000 AIs in less than three months.

Stories of Growth and Competitive Edge with Cloud Foundry - Dormain Drewitz, Pivotal Software
The proverbial airwaves are jammed with stories of Cloud Foundry's technical feats. Accelerating application velocity, higher patching frequency, scaling without human intervention, and unrelenting stability. Practitioners—developer and operator alike—abound in stories from their peers. But what about business stories? How do business leaders make sense of the Cloud Foundry usage in the market or their own organization?

Before you bet your business on any technology, you want to know why it's worth it. Are the benefits going to outweigh the risk of changing the status quo? Savings are nice, but what you really want to know is how this will help you grow and compete.

In this talk, Dormain will share examples from a range of industries where Cloud Foundry users have improved their ability to grow and compete. From accelerating time to revenue for a new product to becoming more dynamic with marketing campaigns, Cloud Foundry users are taking market share.

Parting the Clouds: Tracing Cloud Foundry for Improved Performance and Availability - Isobel Redelmeier, LightStep
Pushing a new app is fast - except when something times out. Maybe scaling takes too long. And, of course, you need more instances of some apps than you'd expect, or you just can't trust them to perform as well as you'd like.

How well do you really know what's going on in your Cloud Foundry? How much time do you spend ensuring availability? How much do you spend keeping excess nodes around, "just in case"?

Whether you're an operator trying to make sure everything is running smoothly for your developers, or you're a contributor working on Cloud Foundry itself and want to gain better insight into how your components actually behave, you'll learn how distributed tracing can keep you better informed about how your platform is actually behaving so that you can spend less time and money ensuring everything is performing to your standards.

The talk will cover the basics of what tracing itself is, before a deep dive into some examples of how it can help Cloud Foundry operation and development.

One Marketplace to Rule Them All - Matt McNeeney & Laurel Gray, Pivotal
Until now, every Cloud Foundry environment has its own dedicated marketplace where developers can easily consume the backing services their workloads need. But for those in the community using Cloud Foundry at scale, managing many marketplaces poses a number of critical problems. Throw into the mix a handful of Kubernetes clusters with workloads that need backing services, and both developers and operators fall into a world of pain.

But what if developers could access the services they need from an independent marketplace, which they could integrate with any of their workloads, running on any platform? What if operators could manage and monitor these services in just one place? What if alongside databases and common backing services, developers could also get access to the tools they need to do their job, like Kubernetes clusters and spaces in Cloud Foundry?

Come and learn how the open source Independent Services Marketplace team are building the future by inverting the relationship between platforms and backing services, and how this can drastically improve the lives of developers and operators running cloud-native platforms at scale.

One marketplace to rule them all,
one marketplace to find them,
one marketplace to bring them all,
and in the cloud bind them.

The Developer Experience – Zero to Hero - Jai Schniepp, Liberty Mutual
Developers are integral to delivering on a company’s core business strategy, what often goes over looked is the amount of time they spend on non-value-added work. With introduction of Cloud Foundry, development teams are able to focus on business features and not the infrastructure—but that doesn’t resolve all the problems. Learn how Liberty Mutual has committed to our development teams. We work across the organization to deliver an end to end platform that offers a DevOps experience, focuses on ease of use, embedded security and abstraction.

Multi-cloud Monitoring Across Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes - Michael Villiger, Dynatrace
Driven by the need to digitally transform, companies are adopting agile development methods and cloud-native platforms to deliver applications faster and react quickly to customer’s needs.

While Cloud Foundry is designed to run microservices applications, some workloads have requirements better suited for Kubernetes. To utilize the advantage of both platforms, organizations are combining these two cloud abstraction levels into multi-cloud solutions with applications traversing both platforms. The challenge in such a multi-cloud solution is to keep consistent and unified visibility across the different cloud abstraction levels and to identify the root cause of a problem.

In this demo, we'll cover a monitoring approach for distributed applications running on multi-cloud platforms. Regardless of the cloud stacks used, a monitoring approach must be in place that understands the different cloud abstraction levels, showing an end-to-end transaction view and reporting the health of the entire stack.

CF “Holiday” Push – How DSG Onboarded Over 40 Teams in Seven Months - Nick Belhumeur, Dick's Sporting Goods & Sameer Hashmi, Pivotal
Seven Engineers with zero PCF experience.
Seven months to prepare for the three biggest shopping days of the year.
One goal…survive!!!

In early 2018, Dick’s Sporting Goods (DSG) began their journey along-side Pivotal using PCF with the single goal to improve athletes’ (customers’) experiences in all aspects of the business. This meant enabling teammates (associates) with tools to put their services and solutions in front of end-users faster to make an immediate and positive impact on the customer experience.

The DSG Platform Team was formed and within one month successfully deployed (manually) the first foundation. Two weeks later the process was fully automated, and a production-ready foundation was built. This pace was maintained over the next several months as 40+ product teams were onboarded, microservices were being deployed faster than ever before, and teams raced toward the finish line to be prepared for the holiday shopping season. This is the story of Dick’s Sporting Goods and the team behind the teams that built a foundation for the future.

Diego vs Eirini: How to Choose the Best Fitting Container Scheduler - Julian Skupnjak, IBM R&D & Georgi Dankov, SAP
Now that Eirini is an official incubation project, operators can choose between Kubernetes and Diego as their container scheduler in Cloud Foundry. But how should you - as an operator - make that choice? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Diego and Kubernetes are both highly scalable, popular scheduling technologies. One has been built into Cloud Foundry for a long time. One, via Eirini, has recently become available to Cloud Foundry operators. Comparing them, one will find many similarities, but also more than a few differences. This brings up the question: when am I supposed to choose one vs the other?

In this talk, we will show the similarities between the two container orchestrators, and the key differences. We’ll give Cloud Foundry customers and operators a better understanding of in which scenarios it is useful to have Diego as container orchestrator, and in which scenarios it might be more useful to use Kubernetes.

Accessing Cloud Foundry Marketplace from your Kubernetes Cluster - Dr Nic Williams, Stark & Wayne
As a developer using Cloud Foundry there can still be some unique benefits found in a nearby Kubernetes cluster. Whilst losing some platform features associated with “cf push”, using Kubernetes also loses some platform constraints that enforced good behavior and separation of concerns within Cloud Foundry. Cloud Foundry users never ran their own MySQL server without any backups or recovery plans; but Kubernetes users can do this with “helm install stable/mysql”. I implore all Kubernetes users who have access to Cloud Foundry to continue using their Cloud Foundry marketplace for production-grade, professionally-managed services.

In this talk, we introduce the Kubernetes Service Catalog, the Open Service Broker API, and a special new service broker that bridges a CF user’s marketplace access into their own Kubernetes cluster.

Boost your Cloud Foundry Edit-Build-Deploy-Test-Debug Speed! - Andrew Lunde, SAP
One of the first things you notice when developing with Cloud Foundry is the time it takes to deploy a multi-node application and how that delay impacts productivity. This is one of the trade-offs we incur in order to gain all the benefits of a micro-services environment. However while much of this unavoidable, there are tips and tricks that can be employed to shorten your round-trip time considerably.

In this talk, Andrew will give an explanation of the root cause of this issue and what can be done to address it including localizing your development environment, piecemeal deployments, and editing/testing after deploy. He will also demonstrate how set up full step-trace debugging of a python application running in Cloud Foundry and how to generalize this approach to other programming languages.

Smelling Smoke? How to Design a Disaster Recovery Strategy for Cloud Foundry - George Lestaris & Chunyi Lyu, Pivotal
Cloud Foundry is a platform that can run on any IaaS. It is a distributed system composed mostly of stateless components, in true cloud-native fashion, but state has to, eventually, live somewhere. Disaster recovery (DR) is usually a non-functional operational readiness requirement but it is not always well-understood. Platform Engineers need to have a trusted DR plan as it’s crucial to both their business continuity strategy and to the developers of the platform.

This talk is split into two sections. The first part will be about the theory of DR for distributed systems and how this theory applies to Cloud Foundry. DR comes with a set of tradeoffs that platform engineers need to incorporate into their platform architecture. In the second part, Chunyi and George will be talking about BOSH Backup a Restore (BBR). A tool that can be part of a DR plan when Cloud Foundry is deployed using BOSH. They will discuss patterns of multi-site setups and the tradeoffs platform engineers can make in order to minimise the impact of backups.

Managing my App Fleet on CloudFoundry and Kubenetes via Unified Application Model - Dimitar Donchev, SAP SE
Most business applications comprise of multiple micro-services with intricate dependencies on each other, backing services, configuration as well as external dependencies. It is not unusual that in some cases these are even spanning over multiple platforms. The development, deployment, and configuration of such polyglot, distributed applications introduce a variety of lifecycle and orchestration challenges.

To address these challenges, the MultiApps project provides a declarative model, which developers utilize to describe their composite applications. Then tools, interpreting the app structure description, automate deployments and zero-downtime updates, always making sure the app is in the desired by the developer state.

The MultiApps project started by covering composite applications on Cloud Foundry. Come and see how this model is now applied also to Kubernetes workloads and even to apps spanning between the two platforms.

How Did Our Garden Grow? Advances in the Cloud Foundry App Runtime's Container Engine - Giuseppe Capizzi, Pivotal & Yulia Nedyalkova, SAP
Garden (the Cloud Foundry App Runtime's container engine, optimised for PaaS workloads) saw awesome features bloom over the last year. This talk will help operators understand and leverage new security features such as rootless, and will introduce developers to the new and long-requested CPU Entitlements feature.

Garden is the first production runtime to support rootless mode; a wonderful security benefit. Leveraging containerd, Garden now uses more industry standards than ever, allowing for a much more familiar operator experience. New container CPU metrics enable operators and tooling to make better decisions about scaling; the speakers will demonstate concrete decision making based on reliable, consistent CPU metrics.

Open Service Broker 101: That Extra Something - Christian Brinker, evoila
While building up a productive Cloud Foundry Application Runtime and Container Runtime one soon realizes that making use of solely the core components of Cloud Foundry Application Runtime and Container Runtime will not realize the platforms objective by itself - to speed up the software development by standardization.

To that the platforms only provide a standardized runtime environment without the other necessary components required by a productive environment of software systems like databases, message queues or log aggregators. But these also have to be provided in a standardized and fast way to speed up a software development process. The solution is called ‘Service Broker’.

In his talk, Christian Brinker takes the audience on the journey from the reasons for the usage of service brokers via their inner structure and effects to complex production setups. He presents common pitfalls and best practices as well as giving a deep insight in the open source service broker framework of his team. Thereby he enlightens common problems like remote controlled load balancers, service key management or on-premise deployment of complex database clusters.

Additionallly, he talks about how to run Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry next to another using the same service brokers and how to share service instances (e.g. a database) between both environments.

Zero to CF in Kube-Cluster in 30 Seconds with Concourse, Helm, Fissile and Eirini - Steffen Uhlig, IBM & Akshay Mankar, Pivotal
Creating a new Cloud Foundry instance has never been easier. With the advent of Fissile and Project Eirini, deploying a new CF has become a matter of invoking a few scripts, fired from a command line.

The Eirini team took this even further with a 1-click approach. In this talk, we will share how we, with the press of a button, create a new Concourse pipeline that creates a new Kubernetes cluster, deploys Cloud Foundry to it, runs CATs, and hands it over to the requester.

We will present an approach to CI/CD that yields standardized development environments resulting in a shorter time to first deploy, with less confusion where to find important information about your environments. With our 1-click pipeline, your kube cluster with CF is not a pet anymore - if in doubt, you can kill and re-create it in seconds.

Ways to Monitor your BOSH Director - Beyhan Veli, SAP SE
The BOSH Team Europe at SAP operates BOSH as a service for operators and the Cloud Foundry on-demand service brokers. Like every production service, the expectations to BOSH's performance and availability have increased dramatically.

Motivated by concrete issues in our production BOSH services, we have continuously worked on identifying the useful metrics and making them available to monitoring tools. No one likes to be paged and that is why it was a crucial task for us to improve the BOSH monitoring.

In this talk we share some of our operation war stories and the metrics which we identified to prevent these situations as well as some ways to expose those metrics to monitoring tools. Moreover, we will give an update on all the improvements implemented for BOSH to make a more sophisticated monitoring possible.

Bosh Vault: Secretless Bosh Manifests and Vault - Matt Surabian, Zipcar
CloudFoundry's config server API has changed the way we're able to manage our infrastructure's secrets by limiting the amount of information our Bosh director needs to remember. Even though the config server API was designed as a generic abstraction, Credhub was the only secure implementation of it.

At Zipcar we were already invested in Vault and didn't want to have to manage two secret storage solutions, so we decided to write a config server implementation that was able to use Vault as a backend. This talk introduces the bosh-vault open source project, explores working with config servers and Bosh in general, and talks about the awesome community support that made this experiment possible.

Deploying UAA to Cloud Foundry and using within your Applications - Dr. Nic Williams, Stark & Wayne
Your organization can easily centralize its user accounts and authentication across applications using the CF UAA -- yes, the same UAA that sits inside Cloud Foundry. Your applications integrate with the UAA using the industry standard OAuth2, and you have a range of ways to optionally integrate the UAA to backend directories of users. You can even theme the UAA for your company.

In this talk we discuss how to run the UAA locally for development of local apps, and how to run the UAA in Cloud Foundry. We’ll cover configuration, and how to make major theme changes to the UAA. We will investigate the https://github.com/starkandwayne/quick-uaa-deployment-cf and its sister projects that make deploying the UAA to various target environments quick and fun.

Securing a Cloud Migration - Erik Costlow, Contrast Security
Cloud Foundry simplifies the “lift & shift” model of cloud migration, making it easy for developers to secure applications before or after migration. By using a suite of free tools, developers can create and deploy self-defending applications to Cloud Foundry that open up security expertise like any other cloud resource: available on-demand without human intervention, scaling to any size.
We will cover security differences of on-premise and cloud deployments, and the risk of unsecured cloud deployments. We will then use free tools to analyze applications as they are built and run, matching everything between development, testing, and the cloud.

Cloud Foundry Availability - Julian Fischer, anynines GmbH
The definition and measurement of availability is an integral part of any system’s operational concept. This talk guides through the definition of availability of a Cloud Foundry based platform. This involves the question on what subsystems are relevant to the definition and how they contribute to the availability metric in the end. Once, a definition has been found a brief the measurement of availability is discussed. With a well defined availability metric at hand, the journey of uptime optimization can be started and will be briefly elaborated. By the end of this journey, you will have learned about defining, measuring and improving the availability of not only Cloud Foundry but complex distributed systems in general and know why maintenance windows become obsolete.

Reinventing the Way of Building a Core Software Product in a 50 Year Old IT Company - Roman Swoszowski, Grape Up
In the fast-paced software development industry, to be ahead of competition means to deliver features, reliability and resilience at the speed demanded by today’s business – making your product cloud based seems to be a go-to plan. Nevertheless, moving the company’s legacy core product written in .Net to the cloud not only sounds but is also extremely complicated. In this talk, we will explain how Grape Up helped one of their customers throughout a journey to change waterfall to DevOps, on-premise to Cloud, and why Cloud Foundry was a vital part of that transformation. During the presentation we will share facts and statistics based on a true case study which compares the old, on-premise era with the new cloud era. Faster time to market, release cycle reduced to 2 weeks instead of 6 months, new style of working and thinking, .NET transformation on Cloud Foundry, culture of continuous feedback. We will prove it’s possible and worth it.
