Cloud Foundry and PaaS Foundations for Microservices

Modern application deployment can be complex, but Platform as a Service (PaaS) simplifies how we deliver software. Understanding how to leverage Cloud Foundry allows you to focus on writing code rather than managing underlying infrastructure. By completing this guide, you will transition from a local developer to a cloud-native professional capable of deploying resilient microservices. You will gain a clear conceptual understanding of cloud platforms and the practical knowledge needed to push, scale, and monitor applications in a Cloud Foundry environment. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental differences between IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS architectures. - Deploy microservices using Cloud Foundry command-line tools and configuration manifests. - Apply the Twelve-Factor App methodology for building modern, scalable cloud-native applications. - Configure routing, environment variables, and external service bindings for cloud applications. - Scale applications horizontally and vertically to handle changing traffic demands. - Monitor application health and analyze logs to troubleshoot deployment issues. The course begins with foundational cloud concepts and PaaS terminology before guiding you through the mechanics of application deployment, service integration, and cloud-native architectural patterns. You will learn through clear written explanations, structured command references, and step-by-step configuration walkthroughs. This course is designed for beginner developers, system administrators, and aspiring cloud engineers who want to understand PaaS and microservices without needing prior cloud deployment experience.
