The Genesis of Cloud Foundry: Using Open Source Tools to Easily Deploy...
summary
Comcast explains how an open source control plane built around Genesis kits plus a proto BOSH director, vault for secrets and Concourse CI/CD turns bare VMware/AWS into production CF in about 16 hours (first attempt ~50 hours). The stack automates release stitching, cert rotation, backups (Shield), and a jumpbox workflow, scales to 23 foundations (11 open source) and 40,000 apps, and onboarded thousands of apps quickly by providing repeatable, opinionated manifests and reusable kits.
