Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) For Java and Spring Developers

Explore how cloud computing provides on-demand remote servers on the internet to store, manage, and process data, replacing costly local servers with scalable resources.

Discover why cloud computing matters by highlighting flexibility, scalability, pay-as-you-go costs, backup and restore, access from anywhere, and enhanced security to boost competitiveness.

Explore cloud service models: IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, and see how responsibilities shift from you to the provider. Examples include Amazon IaaS, Rackspace, OpenShift, Heroku, Google apps, and Office 365.

Explore cloud service models with a real-time car analogy. Compare iaas, paas, and saas from owning a car to leasing and taxi services.

Learn what Cloud Foundry is, an open-source platform as a service you can deploy, run, and scale Java and Python apps, with logs and monitoring, without managing the underlying OS.

Explore the architecture of Cloud Foundry, including metrics, logging, log aggregation, and services. See how the cloud controller, health manager, authentication, and Browder handle all incoming traffic and manage deployments.

Create a free trial pivotal cloud foundry account, verify your email and mobile, then create an organization and install and verify the cloud foundry cli (cf) version 6.4.3.

Learn how organizations and spaces structure your Pivotal Cloud Foundry account, and assign roles at both levels, including org manager, billing manager, space manager, and space developer.

Log in to Pivotal Cloud Foundry with the command line interface, create spaces (development, stage, broad), and select a space for deploying your Java or Spring applications.

Deploy a spring boot hello world application to pcf using Spring Tool Suite or the command line, featuring a simple main class and a hello world controller.

Install the Cloud Foundry plugin in Eclipse via the marketplace, configure credentials and development space, then finish server setup to deploy a hello world application.

Deploy a Spring Boot hello world app to Pivotal Cloud Foundry using STS, configure build packs, set a unique rout, start the app, and verify the welcome page.

Build a spring boot hello world jar, log in to the cf cli, and deploy or update the existing application in the development space of Pivotal Cloud Foundry.

Learn to retrieve and interpret application logs in PCF with three methods—Spring Tools, CF CLI, and the Cloud Foundry web interface—highlighting log fields such as timestamp, origin, type, and message.

Install and start the MySchool server and workbench locally, connect to the local MySchool database, and review a spring schema with a product table for later deployment to pcf.

Learn how to configure a Spring Boot app with a MySQL database named MySchool and deploy it to Pivotal Cloud Foundry, exposing a /products endpoint that returns all records.

Provision the MySchool database service in the marketplace with a free plan in the development space, then gather host, port, user, and password for later local connection.

Upload your local MySQL data to the PCF MySchool database by exporting a SQL dump, importing it into PCF, and verifying the Spring Boot application against the cloud database.

Deploy a Spring Boot app to PCF using STS, create a manifest.yml, and verify deployment by accessing the app and its product data in the database.

discover how manifest.yml stores deployment metadata for Cloud Foundry, including app name, memory, instances, and services, so cf push reads inputs automatically from the file.

Deploy a spring boot application to Pivotal Cloud Foundry with a manifest.yml and the cf push command. The manifest.yml lists the application name, memory, host, and bound services, streamlining deployment.

Spring Cloud enables configuration management and service discovery for deploying a Springwood application to Pivotal Cloud Foundry. Bind the MySchool service to read the properties automatically and restart after binding.

Deploy a Spring Boot app to Cloud Foundry using Spring Cloud, relying on bound MySchool database and Spring Cloud Connectors to auto read properties, yielding three products in the backend.

Bind or unbind a service to an application using the Cloud Foundry web interface, noting that unbinding does not delete the service. If the app runs, restart after binding.

Deploy a Spring MVC application with MySQL to Pivotal Cloud Foundry, showcasing product listing and details, user authentication, and Hibernate integration with Tiles, GSP views, and controllers.

Deploy a Spring MVC application as a war file to Pivotal Cloud Foundry, bind the necessary services, and verify deployment via command prompt before running the app with MySchool database.
