Deploying
and managing applications securely and efficiently is critical in today's
technology organizations. As a result, organizations are turning to Kubernetes
to run their workloads, only to find massive complexity associated with the
platform. Cloud Foundry is a modern development platform designed to deliver
cloud-native applications to any infrastructure, including Kubernetes.
We
have partnered with the Cloud Foundry Foundation to create a new, free online
training course on the edX platform, Introduction to Cloud
Foundry (LFD132x), which helps you get started using this exciting technology. The
course can be taken by both technical and non-technical professionals who want
to make informed decisions regarding development platform selection and use in
custom software organizations.
This
course explains what Cloud Foundry is and why it should be used, starting by
highlighting the main use cases for the Cloud Foundry platform. It then
discusses the relationship between Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes before
providing an immersive, hands-on experience covering the capabilities of Cloud
Foundry, highlighting the impact from three perspectives: developers,
operations, and security and compliance teams. Upon completion, participants
will understand the needs of custom software organizations from the standpoint
of developers, operators, and security and compliance teams.
Introduction
to Cloud Foundry was created by Steve Greenberg, Founder and CEO of Resilient
Scale (https://rscale.io), a consultancy
focused on building capabilities through collaboration, training, and
mentoring. He is a longtime application developer and engineer with over twenty
years of experience, who has been working with Cloud Foundry since 2012.
Like
all Linux Foundation eLearning courses, this course is self-paced and completed
online at the student's convenience. It takes approximately 12 hours to
complete, including hands-on labs and exercises. Those interested may audit the
course for free, or add a verified certificate of completion from edX for a
fee.
