Overview

Software Platform that lets you build and run software in a consistent way, in any place.

• Amazon Web Services

Cloud Foundry builds out the infrastructure including the virtual machine and a hardened version of the operating system, Windows or Linux.

Fundamental Concepts

Distributed System

Distributed systems are hard to build, test, manage, and scale.

Ephemeral Infrastructure

Virtual machines and containers are temporary

Immutable Infrastructure

Updates to systems and applications are not done in-place but rather new, updated instances are created instead.
