Put Your Money Where Your CF Is
summary
Operating four production Cloud Foundry instances across multiple datacenters, the work focuses on concrete wins: automated continuous acceptance testing every 2 minutes (cf push + health checks), tooling to declare and converge state (cf converger and flex), network rule dumping with Virgil, and resilience tests via chaos Galago. Surprising scale examples include an app with 4,646 user‑provided services and resolving OpenSSL/buildpack regressions by requiring app teams to expose test endpoints or hook into CI before upgrades.
