SAP & Cloud Foundry:Love at second sight

At the crossroads…

From here to there…

restricted  access è open  access

proprietary  tools è open  source

model-­‐driven è APIs

walled  garden è open  community

non-­‐binding  roadmaps è open  communication

one-­‐stop  shop è freedom  of  choice

waterfall è agile

regular  shipments   è continuous delivery

SWOT analysis (Q3/2013)

Strengths• Extensible  with  new  

runtimes,   services• SoC:  Does  (only)   a  few  things  

and  does  it  well• Low/no  lock-­‐in

Opportunities• Broaden  HCP  offering  

(choice  of  deployment  model)• Attract  external  

developer  communities

Weaknesses• Current  contribution  model  

(hard  for  remote  contributions)• Despite  big  community,  

mainly  driven  by  Pivotal,  IBM• Underneath  the  covers,  there’s  stuff  

that  needs  clean-­‐up (e.g.  BOSH)

Threats• Not  a  given  that  Cloud  Foundry  

will  win  the  PaaS space  (e.g.  Containers)• Community  growth  may  not  be  

able  to  meet  expectations  (hype)

Top 3

De-­‐facto  standard:  Become  the  “Linux  of  the  Cloud”  &  create  an  eco-­‐system  

that  spans  the  industry

Flexibility:  Enable  multiple  deployment  models  (OD,  OP,  Hybrid)

Openness:BYOL  via  build  packs

Corporate IT Environments are different

• Windows shop (on the client)• Ruby? Go? BASH? Oh my…• “Der Proxy muss weg!”• Self-signed certificates• Software-defined networking?Ø IT transformation

From “Fork” to Contribution

• BOSH– OpenStack CPI– Monitoring: HM syslog forwarder et al.

• Docker Service Broker• CF Abacus• UAA• Started looking into Concourse• Various

Infrastructure as a Service

Infrastructure as a Service

• Earlier: Own IaaS– Means own CPI implementation– Means own stemcell creation processØ Back to forking (externalized CPIs to the

rescue?)Ø IaaS API is one thing, behavior another

• Now: OpenStack-based IaaS– OpenStack CPI– OpenStack stemcellØ More time for other stuff

“Being SAP is hard”: Enterprise Readiness

• Security– Stemcell/stack hardening– Separation of admin/developer access?– Two factor authentication– “Encrypted everything”– …

• Traceability/Auditability/Certification– e.g. “Who ran that ̀BOSH deploy`“?

Ø Anyone? We should talk!

Level up – CF Dojo program

• 2014: 2 developers • 2015: 6 developers

… and they lived happily ever after!

• Docker integration – Diego • Enhancing support for OpenStack –

Project Lead OpenStack CPI (2016+)• Metering and billing – Abacus• Trial backing services – CF Containers Broker

• Enterprise grade support for User Authentication and Authorization (UAA) [getting started]

• Continuous integration – Concourse [evaluating]
