Free Yourself with CloudFoundry: A Private Cloud Experience

Cloud Foundry makes managing and deploying applications incredibly simple. However, deploying Cloud Foundry itself can be a challenging task. We will be sharing what we learned deploying Cloud Foundry and what it took to win over our organization.

Learn from our experiences deploying Cloud Foundry with BOSH and integrating with our existing enterprise infrastructure. We will discuss:

Developing and customizing Cloud Foundry while staying in sync with the open source repositories Building custom Cloud Foundry services using Java and Spring Improved gathering application diagnostics by simplifying JMX and remote debugging support in Cloud Foundry Enhanced security and auditability with application level firewalls

Come learn from our successes as well as our mistakes.
