Pivotal Cloud Foundry

PCF helps to deliver a modern application development and operations environment that lets the developers focus on generating value for customers. It offers the developers a production-ready application container runtime and fully automated service deployments. [3] The three major transforms they tend to bring to their customers :

  • How developers deploy software and consume services
  • How operators install software and deploy services
  • How the world connects and secures software

PCF Dev is a small distribution of Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) that is intended to be run locally on a developer machine. The essential elements of the Pivotal Cloud Foundry experience are delivered quickly through a condensed set of components.
