Cracks in the Foundation: Operating Cloud Foundry in the Real World
summary
Runs through 10 common problems operators hit with Cloud Foundry at scale and gives concrete fixes: automate only what you need, practice iterative releases and do business-hour, small incremental upgrades with blue‑green and rollback plans, run blameless post‑mortems, and prepare DR/failover. Start by moving a high‑value app to prod slowly to validate capacity and observability — one client’s crash once sent Splunk overloaded with 10 million lines/min and brought logging down. Put app teams on call, pair engineers, and treat the platform as a product.
