Cloud Foundry Essentials: Deploying Microservices on PaaS

Modern software development relies on scalable, cloud-native architectures, yet deploying microservices across complex infrastructure remains a challenge. Cloud Foundry simplifies this process by providing a flexible Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that handles the heavy lifting of deployment, scaling, and system management. This text-based course guides you from cloud-native basics to successfully deploying and managing microservices. You will understand how Cloud Foundry interacts with container technologies and buildpacks, enabling you to deliver resilient applications with minimal configuration overhead. What you will learn: Understand core PaaS concepts and the Cloud Foundry architecture; Deploy microservices using both standard buildpacks and Docker containers; Configure application scaling, routing, and service bindings; Apply modern cloud-native security principles to your deployments; Manage application lifecycles and troubleshoot deployment issues using logs; Integrate deployment workflows with continuous delivery concepts. The course starts with foundational definitions and key terminology before moving into step-by-step written guides on application configuration, service integration, and scaling strategies. Designed for beginners to cloud-native development, this course requires no prior experience with Cloud Foundry or complex DevOps pipelines.
