Training: Code to Cloud: The Cloud Foundry in-depth, hands-on tutorial from the experts Tweet
CloudFoundry is the open source Platform as a Service (PAAS) project initiated by VMware. Among the most exciting aspects of CloudFoundry is its openness and developer-friendliness: CloudFoundry supports applications written in a range of popular languages and frameworks to de deployed with virtually no restrictions and in a variety of environments: public or private clouds, potentially reusing exiting hardware.
This tutorial aims to introduce CloudFoundry in a very practical way. It is broken down as follows:
• Introduction to CloudFoundry
• Tooling: VMC and STS
• Working with Micro CloudFoundry to build Private Clouds
• The CloudFoundry Development lifecycle
• Writing CloudFoundry enabled apps with Spring, Lift, and Node.js
• Creating and managing services: MySql, MongoDB, Redis, etc..
• Scaling, Autoscaling and Clustering your Cloud
• Management and Monitoring of Cloud Foundry and Hosted Applications
This tutorial is perfect for people who want to get their hands dirty building their own Private Clouds and how to build and scale a Production-Strength Cloud Foundry environment. Full of war stories from the trenches, and given by contributors to the Cloud Foundry project, this tutorial is a no-holds-barred, in-depth take on Cloud Foundry and how to make the most of it for your own applications.
