Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) is a powerful Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that simplifies the development, deployment, and management of cloud-native applications. As organizations move toward agile and scalable solutions, understanding PCF becomes essential for developers aiming to build modern applications that are resilient, portable, and maintainable. This course provides a comprehensive foundation for working with PCF, empowering learners to effectively navigate the cloud development landscape.

This course begins with an introduction to Cloud Foundry and its architecture, followed by setting up the CLI and understanding roles, spaces, and organizations. It then moves into cloud computing fundamentals, service models, and practical demonstrations of deploying apps using manifest files and Spring + PostgreSQL integration. Learners also explore PaaS concepts, design considerations like 12-factor apps, and how to avoid anti-patterns. The course progresses to updating, scaling, and monitoring apps through UI and CLI, and concludes with advanced topics like managing instances, using environment variables, and service bindings.

By the end, learners gain hands-on experience in cloud-native development using PCF, mastering deployment, scaling, and management of robust applications on the cloud.
