Why we Picked CF as the Basis for our Public Cloud Multi-Tenant Platform

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Public multi-tenant content platform uses Cloud Foundry and BOSH with Warden containers, Cassandra, XDB, Swift and RabbitMQ, deployed into six isolated networks; an automated CI/CD pipeline pushes builds to production in about 12 hours and runs weekly. An upgrade tool performs blue-green upgrades tenant-by-tenant and also reconfigures microservices, giving zero-downtime migrations. Production proves the approach: 29 full releases in 37 weeks, automatic patching of roughly 500 VMs during the Shellshock stemcell update, and operational scaling and logging handled by CF without bespoke VM orchestration.
