Cloud Foundry Day 2022

In this talk anynines CEO Julian Fischer shares ten years of history working with Cloud Foundry. He talks about the transformation of Cloud Foundry as a technology as well as its unique community. It's been a fantastic journey from hearing the word Cloud Foundry for the first time to transforming an entire company into an organization focused on application development platforms ... and the story goes on. Learn about how the zeitgeist has forged Cloud Foundry throughout the years. See how changes of the CF architecture have adapted to an ever changing context. Be entertained by tales collected from planning and operating dozens of different Cloud Foundry environments for various, vastly different organizations and purposes. These tales tell about small and large CF environments with few dozens to thousands of apps. Moreover, they tell about challenges of changing technologies, security in the enterprise and emerging friendships among the Cloud Foundry community. A projection on how existing Cloud Foundry environments may evolve will be presented and Cloud Foundry's future potential illustrated. At the end of the talk you will have gathered an impression on how unique Cloud Foundry is from both perspectives: as a technology and as a community.

The CF on K8s working group has decided to take a new approach to bringing the Cloud Foundry API to Kubernetes with Korifi. Korifi is a ground-up reimplementation of the Cloud Foundry API contract, backed by Kubernetes Custom Resources, Controllers, and Webhooks. In this session, we will dive into Korifi’s Custom Resources and how they simplify application deployment on Kubernetes - including a live demo of the platform in action. We’ll walk through how they fit together and how we leverage existing Kubernetes ecosystem projects such as Contour and Kpack to provide a fast, secure, and extensible platform.

Over the past year or so, the teams in the App Runtime Interfaces working group have been hard at work bringing new and exciting features to the Cloud Foundry ecosystem. In this talk, Greg Cobb, working group lead, will dive into recent projects, collaborations, features, improvements, and more! This talk will be approachable for people with all levels of Cloud Foundry experience, and will cover changes from both product interface and technical implementation perspectives. You won't want to miss this talk!

Maya will cover a short overview of features shipped in the BOSH director and embedded releases in the last year. From IMDS V2 to Template Rendering Speed improvements, we'll go through a quick and dirty overview of what's new in BOSH with a focus on the improvements to the rotation of NATS Certificate Authorities. This talks is or anyone that hasn't been closely following the work of the BOSH Ecosystem TOC and uses BOSH.

Do you have a feature you want to contribute to Cloud Foundry, but you're not sure how to get it accepted? Do you want to get more involved in the community and are looking for a good place to start? After nearly a year of preparation, in 2021 the Cloud Foundry Foundation moved to a new model of project and technical governance designed to provide more transparency and inclusivity to all contributors. Since then, the community has elected two Technical Oversight Committees, formed eight Working Groups to oversee Cloud Foundry projects, and iterated on the roles and processes that make sense for contributors to our community. Let's look back over the progress we've made in the past couple of years and see what remains to be done to make Cloud Foundry a welcoming, productive community for contributors of all levels.

The Paketo Buildpacks project has been pretty busy this year developing new features to make containerizing your application, in a number popular languages, easier than ever. With new features such as support for a software bill of materials (SBOM), remote debugging, and live-reloading to name a few, Paketo maintainers and contributors are driving forward the Cloud Native Buildpacks experience. At this session, attendees will get a Paketo project update, as well as first-hand insights into how to leverage the power of buildpacks to get secure and performant builds.

With some of the biggest Cloud Foundry installations in the world, SAP is serious about squeezing every last drop of performance out of its infrastructure.
 
Come and hear how the company spots bottlenecks through performance and load testing that tells it where to focus its efforts to optimize the CF API. And take a tour of a lightning-fast Go reimplementation of the Cloud Controller.
