Introduction To Cloud Foundry

Cloud Foundry (www.coundfoundry.org) is an open “platform as a service” (PaaS). Introduced by VMWare, it's an open source project with the goal of providing agility, portability, scalibility to cloud applications. Cloud Foundry has many reasons to be on your technology radar, including the ability to deploy to both public and private clouds, choice of services and technology stacks (like Spring, Grails, Rails, MySQL, MongoDB, etc.) and even the ability to download a “micro cloud” that you can run right from your desktop.

We'll explore the basics of Could Foundry including setup, application deployment and local deployments. Examples of deploying Spring, Node.js, Rails, as services such as MogoDB, Redis and MySQL will be covered. See for yourself how easy it is to deploy and app and scale it with Cloud Foundry.
