Cloud Foundry is an open platform as a service (PaaS) that addresses the complexity of modern application development and deployment. It provides an integrated software stack and automated infrastructure that allows developers to focus on coding instead of managing servers and middleware. Cloud Foundry makes deploying, running, and scaling applications much easier by offering self-service deployment, automated provisioning, and curated services that are constantly updated and managed for users. It is available both as an open source project and public cloud service, and upcoming offerings will include a private cloud version called "Project Bento" and a downloadable "Micro Cloud Foundry" for local development.
