Cloud
Foundry Foundation announced the latest release of Korifi, a
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that reduces much of the complexity of Kubernetes
and greatly improves the application deployment experience.
The Foundation also announced a series of Korifi Tutorials to help
developers get started with Korifi, as well as its Cloud Foundry Day event,
taking place on June 21 in Heidelberg, Germany.
Many organizations face challenges when using Kubernetes
infrastructure to deploy their applications. Kubernetes is a powerful and
flexible platform for managing containerized workloads, but it can be complex
and difficult to manage for developers who are not familiar with its nuances.
Korifi aims to simplify the deployment process for developers by providing a
more streamlined and user-friendly interface on top of Kubernetes
infrastructure.
"Having a golden path to production when using Kubernetes
infrastructure is proving to be elusive or expensive," said Chris Clark,
program manager at Cloud Foundry. "Korifi changes that with an easy path for
adoption on cloud platforms. Korifi is increasingly realizing parity with the
Cloud Foundry developer experience and is more inclusive in its workflows and
accommodating greenfield, as well as legacy deployment workflows."
Updates to Korifi in v.0.7.0
include the following.
- Improved logging;
- Labels and annotations
are now supported on all resources;
- Automatic clean-up of
unused resources;
- Support for multiple
apps in manifests.
Korifi's fully open-source code base and community-driven
approach ensure that adopters get complete transparency and agility. For system
integrators and service providers, Korifi is an avenue to enable a cloud-native
transformation for their Cloud Foundry customers and also introduce a new
cloud-based product. Korifi takes care of infrastructure management so
developers can focus on writing code.
Cloud Foundry Day announced
The event will
take place on June 21, 2023, in Heidelberg, Germany, with a call
for speakers that is open until April 28, 2023.
