Read full guide here: Intellyx Guide to Cloud Foundry
Industry analyst firm, Intellyx, has published a 4-part guide about how the Cloud Foundry Foundation community is contributing a smoother development provisioning and deployment experience for cloud native developers.
Intellyx is an industry analyst firm with 10 years of thought leadership and analysis working with innovators in enterprise IT.
The first article “Cloud Foundry: Rethinking PaaS for the Cloud Native Era” reviews the history of Cloud Foundry and concludes, “Cloud Foundry has positioned itself as a leading cloud native application development platform.”
The second article “Paketo Buildpacks: Aligning container images with developer needs,” looks at how Paketo provides application delivery teams with total flexibility in selecting their platforms and open source components of choice, with automation and reproducibility. Developers can successfully build the same app, the same way, thousands of times in a row, even if underlying components are updated.
The third article explains “Why You Need an Opinionated IDP for Kubernetes” concluding, “An opinionated Kubernetes IDP such as Korfi helps organizations navigate the complexities of deploying on Kubernetes by making some important technology choices for you, while leaving in place the flexibility for developers to choose their own language and dependencies.”
And, the last of the articles is about “Korifi and the Future of Cloud Foundry” which says there are two core audiences for Korifi: the seasoned Cloud Foundry developer who wants a native Kubernetes platform, and the newcomer to Cloud Foundry who is looking for a mature IDP for their Kubernetes deployments.
In all, the guide helps developers and technical leaders understand how the open-source capabilities of Cloud Foundry – such as Korifi and Paketo Buildpacks – can provide a stable and well-curated application delivery experience. The Intellyx guide to Cloud Foundry is recommended reading.
