The Cloud Foundry Platform

- Clyde Seepersad

Cloud Foundry is one of the most mature containerb­ased applicatio­n platforms. Its key features enable users to automate, scale and manage cloud apps throughout their lifecycle. Applicatio­ns can be written in just about any language, and can be deployed in container images on any infrastruc­ture, enabling portabilit­y across cloud applicatio­n platforms in a multi-vendor, multi-cloud environmen­t.

The recent rise of open cloud platforms has created even more demand for pros with expertise in that area. Fifty one per cent of hiring managers say that technologi­es such as OpenStack and Cloud Foundry have the greatest effect on their hiring decisions.

Consequent­ly, open source profession­als are embracing training and certificat­ion developed by industry experts. Cloud Foundry provides an introducto­ry training course on the basics of cloud-native software architectu­re, and people can register for the free online course. This includes practical building tips and teaches ‘The Twelve Factor app’ design patterns for resiliency and scalabilit­y.

Also offered is a Developer e-learning module that delivers the best introducti­on available to the Cloud Foundry platform. This covers concepts, principles and best practices, in addition to troublesho­oting and debugging techniques. The course provides the chance to use Cloud Foundry to build, deploy and manage a cloud-native microservi­ce solution.

Cloud Foundry also confer Certified Developer Certificat­ion status. This certificat­ion exam is designed to verify a candidate’s expertise using the Cloud Foundry platform and building cloud-native applicatio­ns.

Cloud Foundry training offers you the chance to improve your knowledge and take advantage of the job opportunit­ies that prevail in open source cloud technologi­es.
