6. Cloud Foundry Architecture
Integrations with Cloud Foundry
have established vectors within the
architecture, as either running on
Cloud Foundry, integrating as a
service (local or operated via a
SAAS provider), or embedded in
the core SW. Services can be 1)
explicitly exposed via a catalog or
2) implicitly qualified and
instantiated external to CF

7. Apps Running on CF
• Run compatible cloud native
apps (packaged SW).
Typically Java, Node.js or
Ruby apps, but can support
any app/runtime with a
compatible buildpack
• Examples: Soasta, Jaspersoft,
Wordpress, Joomla

• Partner integrations of core
functionality are supported
on any CF module, including
buildpacks.

15. Deployment on Select IAAS: CPI
• Developing CPIs (Cloud Provider Interface)
so that BOSH can deploy PCF and other
Pivotal products on top of specific IAAS
solutions
