The industry has standardized around Kubernetes as its leading orchestration platform. But due to its complexity – and a lack of experience and expertise – Kubernetes remains a challenge to deploy and manage.
Faced with an increasing amount of pressure to create innovative software that delivers competitive business advantages and beneficial user experiences, developers hold a crucial role in the development cycle. Thus, it's the developer experience that must be at the forefront. Empathy must be top of mind for the individuals behind the delivery of orchestration platforms like Kubernetes.
Craig McLuckie, Vice President of R&D at VMware, will discuss the importance of the developer experience, the role empathy can play for the broader developer ecosystem, and how his team is ensuring the VMware Tanzu portfolio extends beyond IT infrastructure.

This talk will give an overview of the various possibilities to easily access and get in touch with the Cloud Foundry platform. Cloud Foundry comes in various flavors, there is a big range of commercial hosted offerings, private deployment options and various development environment alternatives. This presentation is intended for users who would like to get their first hands-on experience or for others who might want to evaluate an alternative deployment option. The analysis will compare the public offerings based on the metrics of price, availability, options and available services as well as the self-deployed options in terms of simplicity in setup and handling and requirements. It is supposed to cover the breadth of the Cloud Foundry offerings and give an easy entry path to the technology. This is an updated version of the talk with strong focus on new Kubernetes-based options.

What’s the real challenge with the cloud-native apps (aka MSA -micro-services architecture) these days? The development & deployment of cloud-native /containerized apps is well covered with PaaS offerings such as cloud foundry and/or Kubernetes. These platforms enabled proliferation of these apps/services at a rate that it has reached a point, where the service discovery, routing has become a mesh(mess) of communication links; and yes we have been through asynchronous messaging models ESB, API Gateways, Edge proxies as well.
In this talk Dill Anupoju would like to present some of the challenges and key design factors to consider while building MSA and how they interact across multi-cloud/platforms environments; though there is no one solution that fits all.

The re-platforming of Cloud Foundry onto Kubernetes is in full swing. Eirini, Quarks, kubecf, cf-for-k8s are all projects in that space, addressing different aspects of a Cloud Foundry to Kubernetes integration. In the latest sequel to earlier panel discussions during Cloud Foundry summits (e.g. “Cloud Foundry Test Kitchen” – https://youtu.be/v9aUSiZn6-Y), representatives of major companies in the Cloud Foundry ecosystem will talk about their view on the status quo, what’s ahead in terms of development in Cloud Foundry components, how the above-mentioned projects relate and what the move to Kubernetes as a basis means for consumers of the Cloud Foundry platform.

Running Cloud Foundry on Kubernetes implies that the lifecycle management tool BOSH becomes obsolete. A reason to look at the future of data service automation for Cloud Foundry. In this session you will learn how the entire lifecycle of on-demand provisioning data services can be automated to serve thousands of data service instances of various types. An open source data service framework covering large swathes of the lifecycle automation will be drafted. See how existing technologies such as Operators and Helm can be of use. Furthermore see how the integration with both Kubernetes CRDs and the Open Service Broker API can be combined. At the end of this session you will have gained a conceptual understanding of how to automate stateful workloads for future Cloud Foundry environments.

KubeCF, an open-source distribution of the Cloud Foundry Application Runtime (CFAR), aims to provide developers and enterprises with the best of two worlds, Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry, throughout a made easy approach.
With KubeCF, users can continue focusing on their business logic development, while running on a container-native landscape, reducing the hassle of doing this from the ground up in Kubernetes. Kubernetes was never built to be a comprehensive platform; technologies like KubeCF can complement Kubernetes.
In this talk, Thulio and Enrique will showcase how KubeCF is the bridge that gets us from BOSH releases for VMs to a Kubernetes-native PaaS. You will learn how to use KubeCF on any local development, and get some insights and lessons learned since its inception.

Modernizing applications for faster delivery cycles has long been a desire for organizations. But achieving that outcome is complicated, so other work takes priority. Years go by and the pain of maintaining and updating code lingers.
Then Spring 2020 happened. Suddenly, delivering new experiences digitally became the *only* way to reach customers. And competitors that moved faster were taking share in bigger chunks. In this talk, you’ll learn how COVID-19 has been a crucible moment for companies that have invested in developer experience. From healthcare to retail to finance, the ability to deliver software quickly with Cloud Foundry has separated the digitally prepared from the digital laggards.

Over the past year, there has been major effort invested in re-platforming Cloud Foundry to run on Kubernetes. As part of this re-architecture, the idea of utilizing Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) has come to the forefront of discussion.
In this session, Angela and Connor will examine why CRDs are so compelling to use as a core component of the future cf-for-k8s. We will highlight the benefits of a CRD-centric approach for users, application developers, and contributors and offer some thoughts on what a CRD-centric cf-for-k8s might look like. Attendees should leave with a strong understanding of why and how they might utilize CRDs.

As CF for Kubernetes continues to grow, the process for pushing source code to production will still be as simple as running 'cf push'. But, the build path that your application travels from source to running container has changed. The buildpacks responsible for adding the dependencies an application needs have been completely reimagined.
Building on top of the experience building and maintaining Cloud Foundry Buildpacks comes the Paketo Project. It aims to resolve the technical and organizational issues that affected the old CloudFoundry Buildpacks.
This talk will address how Paketo Buildpacks reshape the buildpack experience to be modular, extensible and approachable.
Cloud Foundry for Kubernetes seeks to bring the simple, self-service APIs of Cloud Foundry to the powerful, but complicated world of Kubernetes. By bringing the “cf map-route” experience to Kubernetes, developers can focus on core application business logic instead of complex Kubernetes networking configuration.
In this session, Tim and Nitya will cover the design decisions, implementation, and extensibility of the new networking tier in CF for Kubernetes. They will demonstrate how CF for Kubernetes leverages Istio service mesh and Kubernetes networking features to enhance the platform. They will also present a new Kubernetes custom resource and controller: the CF Route CRD and RouteController. The CF Route CRD and RouteController lend future extensibility to the networking tier by opening up potential for additional control planes and pluggable ingress implementations in the future.

The services endpoints on the Cloud Controller API have been a general source of pain for consumers. Some of the problems with the V2 implementation include: needing several requests to get basic information about a service or service instance, multiple endpoints to manage the same resource, leaking abstractions between the API and the Service Broker, and lack of features like blocking during service instance creation. This contributes to frustrate not only API consumers but also CLI/GUI users.
The SAPI team is working on improving many aspects of the services API with V3 of the cloud controller API. The new services endpoints provide much more flexibility and control over the workflows available for service offerings and service instance management. Many of these features and improvements are already available as experimental APIs on recent versions of Cloud Foundry.
