CloudFoundry

CloudFoundry is a free, open source cloud computing platform supported by the non-profit CloudFoundry. It is not tied to any particular cloud service, but can be self-hosted or run on any cloud service preferred.

Key Features

Interoperability
Cloud Foundry integrates with external technologies to provide solutions for organizations’ IT needs. The open source Cloud Foundry project continues to incorporate new open source projects into its DNA to provide more features and capabilities for users.

Multi-Cloud
Cloud Foundry removes the complexities of developing applications by decoupling the application from its infrastructure, so that organizations can make a business decision on where to host workloads—on premise, in public clouds, or in managed infrastructures.

Containers
Cloud Foundry addresses the significant complexities involved in scaling and orchestrating containers from rapid prototyping through to production.

Serverless
As a PaaS, Cloud Foundry operates as a form of serverless computing—it enables your developers to write code and not worry about the underlying operating system.

Microservices
Microservices are independent applications that can be knit together into a larger system. Developers can use microservices both to create new apps, and as a pattern to break apart and refactor legacy monolithic apps for the cloud era.
