What is Platform as a Service– What does it do

– What problem does it solve

What is Cloud Foundry– What problem does it solve

– Cloud Foundry architecture

What is SUSE adding to Cloud Foundry

Platform as a Service

Platform as a service (PaaS) is a category of cloud computing services that provides a platform allowing

customers to develop, run, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure typically associated with developing and launching an app.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_as_a_service

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_as_a_service

Did you know …… you are a software company?

Obviously software is an integral component -- in fact the primary component -- of every digital company. These companies use software to make money and keep their customers loyal and engaged.

But, you run a “non-digital” company. You produce widgets or provide services. Could you better serve your customers with software -- and even acquire new customers?

Do you see software as an essential way to provide more value with your products and services to keep your customers happy and loyal? You probably don’t. And that’s a huge problem, because your competition does.









Bottom-line

Software is essential to how you interact with your customers

Fortunately

There is a whole industry that is focused on simplifying this effort

Platform as a Service

With a Platform as a Service, all your company has to do is focus on your applications, everything else is taken care of for you:

● Development services● Deployment● Configuration management● Network management● Monitoring

You only take care of yourapplications! Man

Cloud FoundryThe leading PaaS OSS Project

Cloud Foundry is an open source cloud platform as a service (PaaS) on which developers can build, deploy, run and scale applications on public and private cloud models.

The Cloud Foundry Foundation now has over 63 members with hundreds of contributors.

QUOTE: Joshua McKenty, field CTO for Pivotal

"Ordinary people can't fly with a cape. They use a plane. Cloud Foundry is a plane."

Cloud Foundry lets ordinary enterprise developers build a modern, competitive business software without having to become proficient

on everything a modern cloud software provider knows.

STEMCELL

The stemcell provides the application devices and a kernel to run.

The drivers for the network interface, semaphores required by compilers, and other kernel specific dependencies are also provided by the stemcell that is deployed to the DIEGO Cells.

ROOTFS

Containers receive a root filesystem at creation from an image. This is a minimal image providing just the essential dependencies for a Cloud Foundry buildpack to be able to run.

BUILDPACK

Buildpacks are the magic that enables developers to focus on developing business logic. It provides three scripts: detect, compile and release. As well as any bundled dependencies required for deploying a user's application.
