CD2CF - Continuous Deployment to Cloud Foundry

Dominik Kress

Stop managing complex infrastructure and start deploying. Discover how Cloud Foundry’s buildpacks and single-command workflow automate continuous delivery directly from your source code to production.

#1 about 4 min

Introduction to StackIt and enterprise cloud platforms

The StackIt App Cloud serves as a foundation for enterprise continuous deployment.

#2 about 3 min

Understanding the core philosophy of Cloud Foundry

Cloud Foundry abstracts away complex infrastructure to focus purely on frictionless application deployment.

#3 about 4 min

Key components and architecture of Cloud Foundry

Internal components like routers, authentication layers, and the Diego container orchestrator manage infrastructure abstraction.

#4 about 4 min

Structuring environments with organizations and spaces

Organizations and spaces manage role-based access control and resource quotas for different development teams.

#5 about 3 min

Automating access using space-scoped service accounts

Creating and using space-scoped service accounts provides automated pipelines with securely scoped platform access.

#6 about 4 min

Configuring a Spring application for continuous deployment

A sample Spring Boot application and its associated manifest file prepare the environment for automated deployment.

#7 about 7 min

Setting up a GitHub Actions workflow for automated deployments

A GitHub Actions pipeline automates application artifacts and executes cloud deployment commands seamlessly.

#8 about 5 min

Automatically containerizing applications with Cloud Foundry buildpacks

Buildpacks detect, compile, and stage applications into executable droplets without requiring manual container configuration.

#9 about 4 min

Verifying successful deployment and rolling updates

The Stratos console confirms application availability while the routing layer supports zero-downtime rolling updates.

#10 about 4 min

Managing application scaling within Cloud Foundry

Auto-scalers and manual instance sizing dynamically adjust application capabilities based on defined resource thresholds.

#11 about 2 min

Ensuring container security and strict access controls

Integrating security checks and applying application security groups securely restrict container access and internal permissions.

#12 about 1 min

Migrating existing architecture into Cloud Foundry

Migrating legacy applications to the cloud platform necessitates adopting a twelve-factor stateless operational architecture.

#13 about 2 min

Evaluating current trends in CI/CD pipelines

Modern deployments prioritize dedicated pipeline implementations and shifting security left through automated vulnerability scanning.

#14 about 3 min

Handling high availability and stateful application requirements

Multi-instance scaling guarantees high availability while external data services manage necessary persistent application states.

#15 about 4 min

Comparing containers, cloud architectures, and serverless computing

Execution environments differ fundamentally across container deployment paradigms, cloud virtualization structures, and serverless compute models.
