Why CFCamp?
The Cloud Foundry project has reached new milestones. And with each new customer, the number of tools and services needed expands. This focus of this Unconference is to discuss opportunities to expand the ecosystem of solutions to meet the needs of our ever expanding list of customers.
What is CFCamp?
CFCamp is an Un-conference just before CFSummit. An unconference does not have pre-determined presentation topics. Instead, we will determine what topics we want to discuss at the beginning of the event. Unconferences are a great way to share and discuss lots of new ideas. We hope you will join us!
When is CFCamp?
CFCamp happens Sunday May 22nd, from 4-7pm, the evening before CFSummit in Santa Clara begins.
Who should attend?
Customers: Come make your voices be heard.
Consultants, vendors, entrepreneurs and 3rd-party solution providers: Lets work together to help this community grow

Join us for a hands-on training workshop to learn about deploying and managing applications on Cloud Foundry. We will give an overview of Cloud Foundry and how it works, including specifics relating to services, buildpacks, and architecture. We will also look at how to effectively work with Cloud Foundry in your organization.
This training is targeted at people with little or no Cloud Foundry experience but some experience delivering web-based applications. If you’re curious to learn how Cloud Foundry can help you focus on development and innovation, rather than infrastructure plumbing, this is the right course for you.
All trainings cost $450 per person and you must select the training course of your choice, while registering for the full conference.
This course is designed to give its students a hands on experience of designing applications for Cloud Foundry. We will give an overview of Cloud Foundry and its tools from the point of view of an application developer and how to architect polyglot applications for deployment and scaling in the cloud.
This training is targeted at developers with little hands-on Cloud Foundry experience and those who have an interest in deploying innovative, microservice-based systems into the cloud.

Martin Ford explores the ways in which “robots” and other technological advances are outpacing humans in all kinds of sectors, from education to law to agriculture to healthcare to management and beyond. He offers a realistic view of what the future of work—and your place in it—will look like. But beyond pragmatic concerns, Ford addresses a bigger question: can accelerating technology disrupt our entire economic system to the point where a fundamental restructuring is required? This next industrial revolution, Ford argues, will not be like the last one. In the past, even as jobs were eliminated, jobs were created to replace them. Increasingly, though, new machines will be able to take care of themselves. Fewer jobs will be necessary. The effects of this transition could be shattering. But there will be opportunities as well. We are at an inflection point: Do we continue to listen to those who argue that nothing fundamental has changed, and take a bad bet on a miserable future? Or do we begin to discuss what we must do to ensure all of us, and not just the few, benefit from the awesome power of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other breakthroughs? The time to choose is now. This talk is both an exploration of this new technology and a call to arms to address its implications.
Digital Transformation enables companies of all sizes and industries today to provide new, more effective applications and services. With digital platforms such as Cloud Foundry, enterprise IT is able to be agile, flexible, and therefore responsive to the need for continuous development and integration.
A few examples:
* Shoe companies use data from professional athletes and the general population to determine the most optimal designs for their shoes and other athletic wear.
* In the Industrial GE is able to gather massive analytics from the jet engines and locomotives it manufactures, leading to improvements that save millions of dollars per year for the company and its customers.
* A new era of financial services is emerging with the combination of development and deployment technology, along with blockchain technology that adds new levels of transaction security.
* Government agencies can provide citizen-facing services for routine tasks such as license renewal as well reform and transform major acquisition processes.
This lightning talk covers these and other great Digital Transformations occurring throughout the world today.
While Cloud Foundry is best suited for web applications and 12-factor apps, it also supports TCP traffic, making itself ready for e.g. IoT scenarios. But why not go further?
At Grape Up we experimented a bit with the CF platform and enabled it for UDP-based applications – first and foremost VoIP usecases. This lightning talk will show highlights of what we achieved and what new possibilities open for the Cloud Foundry platform.
Members of the CFF marketing work group, please join us in the Octavia Butler Lounge to meet and greet each other for an informal happy hour gathering.
No RSVP required.
At the 2015 Cloud Foundry Summit, Allstate spoke about their goal of being thought of as more of a software company. Transforming an 85-year-old Fortune 100 company involves creating a shift in how to conduct business, but also in how technology can facilitate and even increase this process. The threats and issues facing Allstate’s business-technology transformation are typical of many large companies.
Doug will discuss how Allstate’s technology strategy has shifted since 2015 as the insurance giant moves aggressively to the cloud. Doug will also cover how far Allstate has come in the last year, what's been working, the challenges that remain, and the journey which continues full speed ahead.
Going from weeks to minutes for app deployments, 0 to 4000 requests per second and 0 to 1200 apps in approximately a year.
In 2014, Springer Nature development teams were globally distributed with no standardization across groups. From commit to production often took more than two weeks, and tasks like provisioning new VMs, configuring networks and firewalls, load balancing, and writing Chef were chores considered too tedious with which to deal. Tribal knowledge resulted in flaky systems that culminated in dev teams who were overly reliant on different ops teams.
When Platform Engineering began to hear faint whispers of “miiiiicro services,” the company knew it needed to do something drastic. This post will drill down into how Cloud Foundry changed the culture, allowing devs to own their apps in production and worry less about operational hassles, and how Platform Engineering simplified operations and reduced costs across the board.
While deployment pipelines speed up the process of delivering software releases, test automation often fails to uncover non-functional regressions which can result in poor performing builds.
In this talk we will showcase the importance of shifting performance left in the software delivery lifecycle and examine key performance and scalability metrics to include across all phases of the deployment pipeline.
Please join us for a very special lunch session with Cornelia Davis, CTO, Transformation Practice at Pivotal, who will lead a discussion on how diversity and inclusivity powers innovation. Cornelia’s keynote will be followed by table-led discussions. All attendees are invited to participate in this vital ongoing conversation about the need for a diverse and inclusive open source community! All attendees are invited, but space is limited.
Please RSVP to the Diversity Luncheon here.
Every major global financial institution is encountering the cloud, and each is adopting it in their own way. Some are diving in the deep end, moving all software delivery to public cloud like AWS or Azure. Others choose to keep everything on premise. Others are taking a "wait and see" approach, while still others are combining the best of both public and private clouds, adopting a hybrid strategy.
This technical panel discussion features thought leaders from several major global finance corporations. It will explore the role of hybrid cloud in global enterprise software delivery. The panelists will present their unique experienced viewpoints on the pros and cons of hybrid cloud, the reasons they have, or have not moved to hybrid, and the challenges they're facing in whatever cloud adoption strategy they've chosen, whether public, private, or hybrid. This promises to be an invigorating, charged, and possibly somewhat controversial debate.
Developers are driving the market for cloud consumption and leading each industry into the new era of software defined disruption. There are no longer questions about elastic and flexible agile development as the way to innovate and reduce time to market for businesses. However, current cloud solutions do not enable application development platforms natively or provide the ability to create applications that are cloud native with elastic services. In addition, businesses are moving to application development architectures leveraging microservices, which are becoming more strategic to their business strategy. When making the decision to build and operate an application in a cloud platform, microservices become central to your application architecture and strategy.
This presentation will describe the Cloud Foundry contributions that address current devops challenges, the data platform that is required to support the business analytics, and the build, deploy, and run, including application monitoring and advanced user plane network enhancements.
The overall architecture of the combined contributions will be described with a customer use case.
Cloud Foundry Summit speakers, as well as sponsors and invited guests in attendance are invited to join Cloud Foundry for a thank you reception on Tuesday evening. Appetizers + drinks will be provided.
Please note that an RSVP is required for this event. If you are a speaker or sponsor, and you have not yet received access to the RSVP form, please contact us at events@cloudfoundry.org.
Everyone is welcome but please note that space is limited. Please arrive early to secure your seat.
Collaboration is important to any successful open source project. Cloud Foundry works to foster an expansive ecosystem, as well as a collaborative approach to the development efforts both within the project, as well as with other projects. Ensuring that the platform is always taking advantage of innovative strides, including those made in other communities.
Come meet an amazing group of panelists that include the head of Product Management for Google, Craig Mcluckie, the Executive Director for Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Chris Aniszczyk, VP at Samsung, Richard Kaufmann, and CTO of Intercloud Solutions at Cisco, Ken Owens. The panel will be moderated by the CTO for Cloud Foundry Foundation, Chip Childers
The panel will discuss the efforts surround CNI (Container Networking Interface), and its importance to a platform, as well as the RunC specification that has come out of OCI (Open Container Initiative), and how that has changed the way we think about containers.
