Cloud Foundry Summit 2016

TAP (Trusted analytics Platform - https://github.com/trustedanalytics) is open-source software, optimized for performance and security, that accelerates the creation of cloud-native applications driven by Big Data analytics. This integrated platform simplifies solution development and delivers value from data faster by providing a collaborative, flexible environment for advanced analytics in public and private clouds. It’s built on top of Cloud Foundry and Hadoop stack. 

Fundamental goal of TAP is to integrate many different solutions related to data analysis as a reusable services available on the platform. Although, implementing separate broker for every single service is time consuming so. As a result TAP introduced a tool called Application-Broker (https://github.com/trustedanalytics/application-broker). It is a generic solution that makes it easy to create new applications in service-like manner in the Cloud Foundry Marketplace and provisioning these applications with appropriate configuration and dealing with their dependencies. Using application-broker allows to make a reusable service out of a simple application within one click of a developer’s mouse.
