Keynote - Cloud Foundry Foundation - ApacheCon NA 2015

Editor's Notes

• #2: Member of the ASF, work primarily within the Apache CloudStack community Here to talk to you on behalf of Cloud Foundry I have a long history of working on the tools that support infrastructure and application operations, as well as starting my career as a web dev. What’s become apparent is that every company needs to become a software company. We need to help them get to a world of applications and services.
• #3: What we should have called the talk is the Making of a Cloud Native Application Platform, which is where we all want to get as an industry.
• #4: We all know that we are at the dawn of a new era Computing is everywhere People are changing, we are increasingly relying on technology in everyday life
• #5: What we are required to produce now is a shift in business that matches the changes in human behavior If a company can’t deliver accurate, relevant and personalized opportunities to you, they will become increasingly irrelevant For 20 years, business experts like the MIT Sloan School of Business have said that the most important thing is sustainable competitive advantage They don’t say that anymore. It has become impossible to sustain competitive advantage today
• #6: What’s needed is a model for continuous innovation This is how you capture the opportunities that present themselves in a timely fashion How you create new opportunities Consistently building on, or pivoting from, your current success to stay relevant We’ve seen the rise of Agile development within the enterprise. How many of you have adopted agile? Now how many of you can continuously deliver that software?
• #7: This is a trap that we call waterscrumfall. So how do we get out of the waterscrumfall?
• #8: We know we need to pair cloud native apps with continuous delivery If we can put these two together, we can do what MIT is telling us to do (click)
• #10: Here at an OSS conference, we all know how powerful OSS can be. But the truth is that in today’s markets, pressure requires collaboration to solve for common problems
• #11: We’re building these projects together into Open Data Centers… stacks that are open from top to bottom. As examples… Open Compute, OPNFV, etc… It’s crucial that we begin to see harmony up and down the stack Serve as a powerful platform for that continuous innovation we’re aiming for.
• #12: We’re building these platforms to allow ourselves to reach the architectural ideal of micro services To actually deliver, you need: Rapid provisioning Assumed operability – things like basic monitoring Rapid application deployment Devops culture to provide the feedback loops we require with this accelerated rate of change
• #13: When there is this much market pressure, you begin to see emergent behaviors in a market Those pressures produce the desire to create projects that solve our problems Projects like… Each of these projects are wonderful at what they are solving for, but represent part of the solution
• #14: Remember, what we are striving for is the holistic cloud native application platform. Something that works with everything else, that builds on the projects both above and below in the stack That presents a consistent set of interfaces to managing applications and services
• #15: Cloud Foundry is a Cloud Native Application Platform
• #16: At its heart, A Cloud Foundry is a place of practice for continuous innovation Cloud Foundry is a noun – think about foundries of the past, where material products were produced Place of Practice – consistency, repeatability - this is how we go from being simple bricklayers to cathedral builders Where we assemble the wisdom of the community to create the practices that lead to Continuous Innovation
• #17: Dig a little deeper into the CF Open Source project Users at the top Infrastructure at the bottom CF is the piece in the middle – Elastic Runtime, Services, Operations
• #18: 2 key things we are doing – refactoring elastic runtime – project diego – docker and rocket
• #19: Lattice – Elastic Runtime extracted Laptop Clusters anywhere via Terraform or other deployment systems Gives a taste of the larger Cloud Native Application Platform
• #20: In closing – This is what drives the Cloud Foundry project If we do this right, we give you a platform for net-new applications. We also give ISVs a platform for deployment. – EMC’s Documentum and SAP Operations wins because of the consistency and operability
• #21: We welcome you to join us We are a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project Thank you for the opportunity to speak today
