Kubernetes dev is fun, but setup and ops isn't! See a fun PaaS alternative to push any code, ipynbs or even just data!

Tired of complex Kubernetes YAML? See how a mature PaaS lets you deploy any app, notebook, or even just data with a single command.

Understanding Cloud Foundry as a PaaS alternative

Cloud Foundry offers a higher level of abstraction than Kubernetes, managing the runtime and OS so developers can focus only on their application and data.

#2about 8 minutes

Deploying applications in minutes with `cf push`

A live demonstration shows how to deploy a static web app from the command line and a Python app from GitHub using the UI.

#3about 10 minutes

Deconstructing the `cf push` deployment workflow

The `cf push` command automates creating packages, staging with buildpacks to create droplets, and mapping routes for deployment.

#4about 5 minutes

Managing processes, tasks, and sidecars for applications

Cloud Foundry supports long-running processes, one-off tasks for migrations, and sidecars for auxiliary functions like metrics scraping.

#5about 6 minutes

Creating custom buildpacks for any workload

Buildpacks can be created with simple `compile`, `detect`, and `release` scripts to handle custom workloads, such as deploying a machine learning model from a data file.

#6about 9 minutes

Stacking buildpacks and using them with Kubernetes

Multiple buildpacks can be stacked for complex runtimes like Jupyter Notebooks, and the Paketo project allows using this buildpack concept within Kubernetes environments.

Q&A on PaaS, security, and Cloud Foundry limitations

Key questions are answered regarding the distinction between PaaS and CaaS, security responsibilities, skill transfer from Kubernetes, and the limitations of Cloud Foundry for stateful applications.
