Pivotal Cloud Foundry | Introduction | Simple Programming
Welcome to Simple Programming
PCF is a Open source, PAAS, which can run as public or private cloud.
It provides you On demand network access to shared resources like network, storage, app, services, servers.
It is easy to provision and release on demand
Cloud Computing
- SAAS - you will be using the providers software, can be used in web, mobile, tablet. there is No access to
underlying cloud infrastructure
- PAAS - you will be using the provider tools to deploy or configure the application hosting
environment(manage the application and data). but No access to underlying cloud infrastructure.
CF falls under this model. Another example would be AWS Elastic Bean Stalk . Don’t have to worry about
the traffic or scaling or hardware or operating system
- IAAS - capability to provision, process system, storage etc. No access to underlying cloud
infrastructure (i.e hardware) but can provision operating system , select storage, manage securities,
take care of the system configurations above the hypervisor. AWS EC2, rack space cloud, etc are some of the examples
