Cloud Foundry Summit North America 2020

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.

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.

The CredHub team will be talking briefly about our current explorations in the Kubernetes space,
including service authentication/application bindings, credential generation, and more. We will also provide updates on our future roadmap plans.
