Cloud Foundry provides its users with a standardized runtime environment making it easy to push code to production. But when it comes to a productive usage of application, they depend on other necessary components like databases, message queues or log aggregators. But these also have to be provided in a standardized and fast way to speed up a software development process. The solution is called ‘Service Broker’. But how is Cloud Foundry able to make use of such different technologies. The anwser is called ‘Open Service Broker API’. In their talk Christian Brinker and Marco di Martino take the audience on the journey from the reasons for the usage of service brokers via their inner structure and effects to complex production setups. They explain the Open Service Broker API, how to use and implement it. They also present common pitfalls and best practices.

Even now when Kubernetes is becoming more and more popular CF is still a great choice to make micro services available to the outer world. The portability of applications, the easiness of scaling and the dynamic routing are just some benefits. Nowadays VMs are starting to be left behind in favor of containers, and CF is a prime candidate to bring to Kuberntes. For all the reasons mentioned above, and for the user experience that has been gained and built over the years. Progress does not imply starting with a totally clean slate, progress is built upon strong foundations. In this talk we will take you with us on our journey, and tell you why and how we deployed CF on Kubernetes and what challenges came along this road.

Learn about how to migrate from monolithic app architecture to cloud enabled microservices architecture using service mesh and sidecar technologies.
As we started cloud native transformation to host microservices, challenges of managing multiple services on cloud became clear (Death Star). Also, no single product provided all the capabilities (context-sensitive circuit breaker).
We developed a service orchestration solution, as part of transition architecture, using custom sidecar solution based on Envoy and leveraging frameworks like Zuul, Eureka, and Spring Cloud Data Flow. It served as a dedicated layer for svc-to-svc communication and provided multi-tenancy, enabling global deployments of apps.
Envoy based transition-architecture and target-architecture resulted in significant cost savings, reduced time-to-value, and more importantly, secured microservices.
SUSE has been at the forefront of adopting Kubernetes as a platform for running Cloud Foundry.

This year's COVID-19 pandemic has pulled back the curtain on the role of care work within our individual, social, and collective lives. While many of us in the tech sector have experience working remotely and from home, few of us have done so under such extreme and trying circumstances.
In particular, parents with children living at home have been navigating a new world of remote schooling and loss of childcare in an economy that tends to treat child-rearing and other forms of care work as externalities, rather than as central to our lives. In her talk, Lauren Bacon explores the ways in which care work is and isn’t noticed or valued, especially in the tech sector -- and what each of us can do to make that invisible work more visible, more clearly understood -- and ultimately, more valued.

The BOSH team at SAP operates BOSH as a service for the cloud platform operators and the Cloud Foundry on-demand service brokers. We are also responsible for BOSH DNS, which is used for DNS and service discovery in our Cloud Foundry environments. Like every production service, the performance and availability expectations are very high, because any failed DNS resolution or BOSH operation can have direct customer impact.
Motivated by concrete issues in our production environments, we have continuously worked on identifying the useful metrics and making them available to monitoring tools. No one likes to be paged and that is why it was a crucial task for us to improve the BOSH and BOSH DNS monitoring and define meaningful alerts. In this talk we share the story of our monitoring journey and the evolution of the metrics which we identified over the time to prevent critical situations on productive environments. Moreover, we will give an update on all the improvements implemented for BOSH and BOSH DNS to make a more sophisticated monitoring possible and the available options to expose those metrics to monitoring tools.
