Containers Alone Aren’t Enough…

Unit of Value
IaaS == Virtual Machine
 Opaque to the system
 Orchestration is post-hoc
 System changes are
imperative (“launch” stuff)
PaaS == Application
 Containers are transparent
 Lifecycle is fully managed
 System changes are
declarative (manifest.yml)

Why would I care?
(Hint: It’s not just for the parties.)

30. 30© 2014 Pivotal Software, Inc. All rights reserved.
Why IT loves Open Source Software
NOT Because:
 They want to change it (because most users won't)
 They think that software should be cheap or free.
But, BECAUSE:
 Open Source processes force agile development.
 Healthy OSS community guarantees multiple vendors.

Why would I care?
 Installing Cloud Foundry will unlock the value of your
OpenStack investment.
 Learning to use Cloud Foundry will move your career back
towards the creation of new business value.
 Packaging your software for CF-BOSH will open up the
behind-the-firewall market to your SaaS product.
