that is, not only secured, but also isolated from other tenants, cost efficient and without bogging us down with maintenance overhead ” Clive, Cloud Architect Michael, operations administrator “We want centralized control over the development platform usage (user management, resource usage monitoring), but we want that centralized management to be efficient and with minimum manual tasks. Josh Lead Developer Janice Developer “We don’t want 5 ways of doing the same thing depending on the resource type we work with, or its location. Current Problems
the global catalog in the public IBM Cloud, goes to the Cloud Foundry category, and creates a Cloud Foundry Environment. Cloud Foundry, a service in the catalog
Foundry environment is controlled through the platform’s Identity & Access page, like any other service instance (Manage > Users). Managing access control to CF environments
manage that environment. The first (default) tab in the user interface is the Overview, which shows a dashboard with the main metrics and high-level information about the environment. Other categories (tabs) in the page provide information and management of users, organizations, resource capacity, catalog visibility and CF version updates). Some information is available only to users with specific roles. Administering the CF environment
Cloud Foundry application services - Public shared infrastructure on-which customers can directly deploy applications with isolation provided by role-based access control • Cloud Foundry Enterprise Environment - providing customers an isolated CF environment. Available in two deployment models in customer's infrastructure: • Shared infrastructure - where the clusters and host VMs are deployed on a shared hypervisor • Dedicated infrastructure - where the clusters and host VMs are deployed on a dedicated hypervisor New Service! The IBM Cloud Foundry Enterprise Environment is an implementation of the Cloud Foundry PaaS platform that is tailored for IBM Cloud. It provides two basic levels of CF services
• An Enterprise DevOps team needs to build, deploy and run applications on “The Cloud” while meeting the isolation and security needs of their security office • An Enterprise IT Operator needs to deploy changes and updates to the cloud applications based on the risk-to-speed cadence they are comfortable with • The IT/LOB buyer needs their cloud spending to be aligned with the volume, time and geographic variability of their business needs • The Enterprise Security Architect needs their applications to communicate securely with each other Organizations demand different levels of isolation in their cloud development platform to balance security, cost, and productivity. They need to isolate workloads both externally to their org and internally for their sub-groups.
Cloud Foundry environment on IBM Cloud with levels of isolation infrastructure, all based on the IBM Cloud Container Service • Allows customers to manage change and access control to their development environment, including it’s configuration • Allows customers to select the right level of isolation v/s cost: Shared (dev/test) or dedicated infrastructure (prod) • Gives customers rapid self-service provisioning and scaling of the environment • Provides full administrative controls on the environment. IBM provides updates; customers apply them at their convenience Enterprise customers can create and manage Isolated Cloud Foundry environments for cloud app deployments by the users within their organization.

vs Kubernetes Cloud Foundry “is an open source, multi cloud application platform as a service (PaaS) running containerized applications governed by the Cloud Foundry Foundation (CFF).” “is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications ma intained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).” Kubernetes PaaS IaaS+
specific and deliberate interest in which one to use. When? Why? Cloud Foundry Use Cases The Cloud Foundry platform is a higher- level abstraction, and offers a higher level of productivity to its users. With productivity, though, comes certain limitations in what can be customized in the infrastructure. Kubernetes Use Cases Kubernetes is a lower-level abstraction in the PaaS world - meaning greater flexibility to implement customizations and build container relationships and connections. This also means more work for your engineering teams and decreased productivity. Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes Containers solve different application delivery concerns for different users within the same space.
manager – SUSE (CF Member, working closely with IBM on CF + Kube work) About CF + Kubernetes “…the two communities has really opened up … and are much more receptive than ever to these innovative ideas… not how do they compete, it's how do we bring them together… this community recognizes that they are complementary, that they do have value to offer each other … each one has its limitations and neither one alone can satisfy the broader need https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7IxIDYMoF0 Cloud Foundry & Kubernetes
