Landscape Gardener: Keep n CF Landscapes Blooming Continuously - Andreas Heix & Martin Schröder, SAP
summary
Manages dozens of Cloud Foundry landscapes with varying BOMs across multiple IaaS (AWS, OpenStack and private DCs), staffed by a ~25‑person team across three time zones. Runs weekly updates, hotfixes and patches via automation and self-service provisioning to reduce ops load, and funnels alerts into customer‑scenario health indicators using black-box monitoring plus pattern‑based alerting. Faces surprises from heterogenous components, resilience testing failures and cross‑landscape config drift that require developer collaboration and targeted fixes.
