Ford Invests in Making Customer Experience as Strong as Its Vehicles with FordPass
summary
Ford builds FordPass as a cloud-native platform running Cloud Foundry on Azure, launching four apps at once and backing them with RabbitMQ, MySQL, GemFire and Ops Metrics. Deployment uses Azure load balancers + HAProxy, Traffic Manager for active-active east‑west failover, separate storage accounts per deployment and premium storage for a 25–100% perf gain. TCP keepalive fixes Azure networking instability. Continuous CPI and tile updates force ongoing patching and automation work to keep the platform stable.
