The Essential Getting Started Guide to Cloud Foundry
summary
Cloud Foundry overview that emphasizes actionable details: BOSH automatic VM recovery monitors and reprovisions stemcells and VMs, the Cloud Controller orchestrates droplets and app lifecycle, the router load balances to new instances, and buildpacks + manifests ensure portability. Demo rents Pivotal Web Services and pushes an app in under a minute; CF Dev runs locally but needs CF Dev (2 cores, 8GB) and ~45 minutes to install. Platform economics show owning CF usually makes sense around 120 application instances. Concourse recommended for CI/CD; backups and certificate renewal are common gotchas.
