- 3. 3 Newt Global : Confidential What is Cloud Foundry? Pivotal Cloud Foundry is an open source, multi cloud application platform as a service (PaaS) governed by the Pivotal Cloud Foundry Foundation. The software was originally developed by VMware and then transferred to Pivotal Software, a joint venture by EMC, VMware and General Electric. Cloud Foundry is a platform for developing and running cloud applications. Provides architecture layers between cloud provider and developer so that developer can just push code.
- 4. 4 Newt Global : Confidential PCF vs Docker Key advantage of the Pivotal Cloud Foundry model is ease of use and the key advantage of Docker is portability. With Docker you can additionally use persistent storage volumes (file systems) which might make deployments of existing apps to the cloud easier. Additionally Cloud Foundry supports a smaller number of opened ports for security reasons while Docker in general has no limitations (unless restricted by the cloud platform provider). Cloud Foundry uses containerization technology similar to Docker to build portable images and then run them, but it's an implementation detail and you don't need to specify all the details
- 5. 5 Newt Global : Confidential Why PCF? Cloud platforms represent the next step in the evolution of IT, enabling you to focus exclusively on your applications and data without worrying about underlying infrastructure.

- 12. 12 Newt Global : Confidential How Cloud Foundry Works To flexibly serve and scale apps online, Cloud Foundry has subsystems that perform specialized functions. Here’s how some of these main subsystems work. How the Cloud Balances Its Load How Apps Run Anywhere How PCF Organizes Users and Workspaces Where PCF Stores Resources How PCF Components Communicate How to Monitor and Analyze a PCF Deployment
- 13. 13 Newt Global : Confidential How the Cloud Balances Its Load Clouds balance their processing loads over multiple machines, optimizing for efficiency and resilience against point failure A Cloud Foundry installation accomplishes this at three levels: BOSH creates and deploys virtual machines (VMs) on top of a physical computing infrastructure, and deploys and runs Cloud Foundry on top of this cloud. To configure the deployment, BOSH follows a manifest document. The PCF Cloud Controller runs the apps and other processes on the cloud’s VMs, balancing demand and managing app lifecycles. The router routes incoming traffic from the world to the VMs that are running the apps that the traffic demands, usually working with a customer-provided load balancer.
- 14. 14 Newt Global : Confidential How Apps Run Anywhere Within PCF, the Diego system distributes the hosted app load over all of the host VMs, and keeps it running and balanced through demand surges, outages, or other changes. Diego accomplishes this through an auction algorithm. To meet demand, multiple host VMs run duplicate instances of the same app. This means that apps must be portable. Cloud Foundry distributes app source code to VMs with everything the VMs need to compile and run the apps locally.
- 15. 15 Newt Global : Confidential How PCF Organizes Users and Workspaces To organize user access to the cloud and to control resource use, a cloud operator defines Orgs and Spaces within an installation and assigns Roles such as admin, developer, or auditor to each user. The User Authentication and Authorization (UAA) server supports access control as an OAuth2 service, and can store user information internally or connect to external user stores through LDAP or SAML.
- 16. 16 Newt Global : Confidential Where PCF Stores Resources Cloud Foundry uses the git system on GitHub to version-control source code, build packs, documentation, and other resources. Developers on the platform also use GitHub for their own apps, custom configurations, and other resources. To store large binary files, such as droplets, PCF maintains an internal or external blobstore.
- 17. 17 Newt Global : Confidential How PCF Components Communicate Cloud Foundry components communicate with each other by posting messages internally using http and https protocols, and by sending NATS messages to each other directly.
- 18. 18 Newt Global : Confidential How to Monitor and Analyze a PCF Deployment As the cloud operates, the Cloud Controller VM, router VM, and all VMs running apps continuously generate logs and metrics. The Loggregator system aggregates this information in a structured, usable form, the Firehose. You can use all of the output of the Firehose, or direct the output to specific uses, such as monitoring system internals or analyzing user behavior, by applying nozzles.
