Cloud Foundry rationalizes the chaos of innovation
The open-source computing community is a fertile breeding ground for innovation, which is a good thing. The flipside to the explosive growth, however, is that the compute ecosystem has become increasingly convoluted and confusing. Aiming to simplify the complex is cloud computing platform Cloud Foundry.
“[Cloud Foundry] looks at the entire spectrum of open-source software as a … market of componentry that can be brought together, and we bring it together,” said Chip Childers, (pictured) chief technology officer of the Cloud Foundry Foundation. “Think of it as almost a rationalization of the innovative chaos that’s occurring.”
Childers spoke with Stu Miniman (@stu), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, at the Cloud Foundry Summit in Boston, Massachusetts. They discussed how the Cloud Foundry platform simplifies digital transformation and cloud accessibility. (* Disclosure below.)
Automated, simple patterns that can be scaled with ease
The Cloud Foundry ecosystem was developed with the goal of “helping a developer be a better developer in the context of their organization,” said Childers. And key to helping developers is the ability to easily scale and manage software. Simplicity also means easy operation, and the Cloud Foundry platform can be operated by a very small team, with 10 to 15 operators able to handle thousands of engineers and tens of thousands of applications, according to Childers and Frick.
Unified experience is important to Cloud Foundry’s customer base, and there are two predominant modes for managing cloud-native application workloads: custom platform as a service software written by Cloud Foundry and independent vendor-delivered software. Both methods are easy on Cloud Foundry, Childers stated.
“With PaaS, just hand the system your code; or the container service, just hand it a container image. Both of them work really well together,” he said.
T-Mobile, Comcast and the U.S. Air Force are three major organizations cited by Childers as “running their whole business on Cloud Foundry.” The U.S. Air Force runs air traffic control and coordinates jet fueling on the platform, “so we take that seriously,” he concluded.
