The sessions are as follows:

1. The Developer Experience

   This workshop introduces the business why'' of Cloud Foundry with a nod to Microservices architectures. It then takes the developer through a hands-on day in the life'' experience of interacting with Pivotal Web Services:

   Target My Cloud Foundry Provider

   walkthrough of PWS registration, download CF CLI, target/login.

   Push My App

   push the Spring Music application, high-level talk through of app push/stage/deploy.

   Bind My App to Backing Services

   bind Spring Music to an ElephantSQL PostgreSQL database, high-level talk through of service creation/binding, explain VCAP_SERVICES, point to Spring Cloud.

   Scale My App

   push cf-scale-boot application, scale up, scale down, high-level talk through of dynamic routing.

   Monitor My App’s Logs

   tail cf-scale-boot logs, high-level discussion of loggregator.

   Monitor My App’s Health

   hit the ``kill switch'' in cf-scale-boot, watch the events in the logs, show cf events, watch the app restart, high-level talk through of health manager.

   Monitor My App’s Performance

   bind to New Relic service, re-push application, high-level discussion of NR agent fetching via BP, poke around in NR interface.

2. Architecture and Operations

   The primary goals of this session are to:

   • Do a deep dive into the CF architecture via animated slides illustrating push, stage, deploy, scale, and health management.

   • Also do a brief dive into BOSH, including why BOSH, what it is, and animations of how it works. It’s not an operations focused workshop, so we keep the treatment light.

   • Discuss the value adds to CF BOSH OSS that Pivotal brings through the Pivotal Ops Manager product and our associated ecosystem of data and mobile services.

   • Brief demo of Operations Manager environment (presenter’s discretion)

3. Custom Buildpacks and Data Services

   The primary goals of this session are to:

   • Give an overview of the extension points available to Cloud Foundry users.

   • Provide a buildpack overview with a deep focus on the Java buildpack (my target audience has been Java conferences)

   • Provide an overview of service options, from user-provided to managed services, including an overview of the V2 Service Broker API.

   • Provide a live demo of either:

     • Service Broker Development/Management (PREFERABLE)

       • deploy a service broker for ``HashMap as a Service (HaaSh).'' Register the broker, make the plan public.

       • create an instance of the HaaSh service

       • deploy a client app, bind to the service, and test it

     • Java Buildpack Extension

       • via customization (add a new framework component)

       • via configuration (upgrade to Java 8)

4. Enabling Continuous Delivery

   The primary goals of this session are to:

   • Give a brief, platform-agnostic overview of the why'' and what'' of Continuous Delivery. The purpose is to simply educate the student and bring everyone to the same level.

   • Explain how Cloud Foundry benefits Continuous Delivery.

   • Provide a live demo where the presenter takes a Spring Boot microservice application and builds a continuous delivery pipeline for it using Jenkins, Artifactory, and Cloud Foundry. This is done using a PCF environment and SaaS versions of Jenkins and Artifactory.
