Cloud Foundry (PCF) Fundamentals: Deploy and Scale Cloud Apps

Organizations are rapidly adopting Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions to accelerate software delivery and abstract away complex infrastructure management. Cloud Foundry (PCF) provides a powerful, developer-friendly platform that simplifies how you deploy and manage enterprise applications in the cloud. In this course, you will transition from writing local code to deploying robust, production-ready cloud applications. You will understand how Cloud Foundry handles containerization, scaling, and routing automatically, allowing you to focus purely on writing great code. What you'll learn: - Understand the core architecture of Cloud Foundry and how PaaS differs from traditional infrastructure - Deploy and scale web applications and microservices using the Cloud Foundry command-line interface - Apply 12-Factor App methodology principles to ensure your applications are cloud-ready and easily portable - Configure backing services, databases, and environment variables using service brokers and bindings - Implement resilient microservice patterns, including service discovery and the circuit breaker pattern - Integrate continuous delivery workflows to automate your application deployment pipeline You will start by mastering foundational cloud concepts and the architecture of Cloud Foundry before moving on to deployment workflows. As you progress, you will explore topics such as binding external services, scaling instances, and monitoring application health through written explanations and structured code examples. This text-based course is designed for beginner developers, system administrators, and cloud engineers who want to deploy applications to Cloud Foundry. No prior PaaS experience is required, though a basic understanding of web development and command-line interfaces is helpful.
