Cloud Foundry is an open source Cloud Platform as a Service "OpenPaaS" project created by VMware, developed in Ruby on Ubuntu. It is multi-language/framework (Java, Ruby, Node), multi-service (MongoDB, Reddis, MySQL, Postgres, RabbitMQ) and multi-cloud: it runs on your laptop, as Micro Cloud Foundry, an Ubuntu VMware image containing the whole platform,
but it can also run on many Cloud infrastructure providers (Cloudfoundry.com, Appfog, ActiveState), and can be used to create your own private cloud.
In this talk Patrick will talk about Cloud Foundry and its potential for developers, IT managers and Sysadmins.
The talk will be follwed by a demo some of Juju charms that allow you to deploy your own Ubuntu based multi-node cloud foundry platform on Amazon EC2 in 10 minutes.

14. Cloud Stack - History
§ What does cloud mean, 4 main angles
• Software 1994 Netscape
• Infrastructure 2002 Amazon AWS
• Platform 2008 Google
• Development now!
§ Industrialization of hardware and software infrastructure
• like electricity beginning of 20th century, cf The Big Switch, Nick Carr
§ But software development itself is moving towards craftmanship

15. Crossing the Chasm
§ Build the whole product
§ Cloud getting mainstream: Apple iCloud
§ Opportunities and risks
§ Ecosystems, various platforms

16. Cloud started at Consumer websites solving their needs
• Google, Amazon, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter
• Large Data Sets
• Storage Capacity growing faster than Moore’s Law
• Fast Networks
• Horizontal -> Vertical scalability
• Open Source Software
• Virtualization
• Cloud is a productization of these infrastructures
• Public Clouds Services: Google, Amazon
• Open Source Software: Hadoop, Eucalyptus, Ubuntu, Cloud Foundry
Monday, October 31, 11
18. IaaS/Virtualization getting mainstream
§ AWS, Joyent, Rackspace,...
§ Open Source projects: OpenStack, DeltaCloud, Eucalyptus
§ Automation: Chef, Juju
§ Standardization? DMTF
§ Inside the Firewall, Virtualization: VMware, Microsoft, Xen, KVM
§ Easy to provision, manage instance...BUT
§ Still need to manage backups, software stacks, monitor, upgrades

19. With Infrastructure, you still need to build your own platform
§ Need to build a distributed platform on top of you infrastructure
§ Story of the AWS meltdown from last summer
• http://blog.reddit.com/2011/03/why-reddit-was-down-for-6-of-last-24.html
• http://www.readwriteweb.com/cloud/2010/12/chaos-monkey-how-netflix-
uses.php
• http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2477296
• http://stu.mp/2011/04/the-cloud-is-not-a-silver-bullet.html
§ Twilio, Smugmug, SimpleGeo survived it because they built their
own distributed platform on top of IaaS
§ Enterprise customers want to consider Infrastructure like CDNs
• Multi Cloud usage
• Based on Open Source de facto standards, or full standards whenever that
happens
19

21. Platforms
§ Raise the Unit of currency to be application & services instead of
infrastructure
§ Google App Engine, Cloud Foundry, Joyent, Heroku, Stax
(Cloudbees), Amazon elastic beanstalk, Microsoft Azure, AppFog
§ Single or a few languages, services
§ Start of Multi language Polyglot platforms
§ Enabler for Agile Developers -> Create Business value faster
§ Lack of standards: risk, vendor lock-in
§ Enterprise needs:
• Control, customizability
• Private/Hybrid Cloud
• Avoid lock-in
21
Monday, October 31, 11
23. Agility as a survival skill
§ Consumer software is becoming like fashion
• Phone apps, social apps, short lifetime, fast lifecycles
• Ab testing
§ Clay shirky situational apps
§ Kent Beck, Usenix 2011 Talk
change in software process when frequency grows
§ Cloud Platforms enables an Agile culture, driver for innovation
• Scalability is built in the platforms
• Can iterate faster
• Focus on design

24. Main Risk: Lock-In
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!
