Cloud Foundry for Beginners: from Zero to Hero

Join a hands-on training workshop to learn about deploying and managing applications on Cloud Foundry.

They will also look at how to effectively work with Cloud Foundry in your organisation.

This training is targeted at people with little or no Cloud Foundry experience but some experience delivering web-based applications. If you’re curious to learn how Cloud Foundry can help you focus on development and innovation, rather than infrastructure plumbing, this is the right course for you.

Course 2 – Microservices on Cloud Foundry: Going Cloud Native

This course is designed to give its students a hands-on experience of designing applications for Cloud Foundry. You will be given the overview of Cloud Foundry and its tools from the point of view of an application developer and how to architect polyglot applications for deployment and scaling in the cloud.

This training is targeted at developers with little hands-on Cloud Foundry experience and those who have an interest in deploying innovative, microservice-based systems into the cloud.

• Linux, Windows or OS X (all 64bit)
• 1GB of FREE RAM
• Ability to install software
• Code editor of choice
• Pivotal Web Services account or ability to create one

Course 3 – Operating a Platform: BOSH and Everything Else

Have you ever wondered how to deploy and operate a platform that’s designed to deploy and operate applications? Join the course and find out how with a hands-on training workshop.

You will be taught how to deploy and manage the Cloud Foundry platform as well as the stateful data services that power cloud-native applications. They’ll provide an operational overview of Cloud Foundry and data services, and how these can be deployed with the cluster orchestration tool, “BOSH”.

This training is targeted at people with little to no Cloud Foundry BOSH experience but who have some experience managing Linux-based systems. If you’re curious to learn how BOSH can help you deploy and manage Cloud Foundry and other complex systems.

Requirements:

• You must have a laptop and be able to install software on it. Make sure your machine has at least 8GB RAM, and 100GB free disc space.  Small configurations may work, but significantly smaller configurations will certainly fail.
