Cloud Foundry EU Summit is next week! We’ve got five technical labs running that should pique your interest, whether you are brand new to Cloud Foundry, a developer at any level, or an experienced platform operator.
Big thank-yous to both Google and Stark & Wayne are in order; Google has generously provided credits for Google Cloud Platform, and Stark & Wayne has built out the shared GCP infrastructure on which most of these labs will run. So thank you Google and Stark & Wayne!
Now, the labs (all times CEST):
Tuesday, 10/20 – 15:00
Try Cloud Foundry
Are you new to Cloud Foundry and want to learn more about the world-class developer experience it provides? In this session, we will demonstrate Cloud Foundry basics using content freely available at https://tutorials.cloudfoundry.org. We will follow up this demo with a question and answer session open to all participants. We will take you through deploying your first app to Cloud Foundry, scaling that application, binding services provisioned from the marketplace, and exploring what happens when one of your instances crash. We will do this all in about 30 minutes in a friendly, guided fashion. We will then answer questions for the next 15 minutes.
Wednesday, 10/21 – 12:20
