VMware, Inc., a US-based provider of virtualisation and cloud infrastructure, recently unveiled Cloud Foundry, claimed to be the industry's first open Platform as a Service (PaaS). Cloud Foundry is said to represent a new generation of application platforms, architected specifically for cloud computing environments and delivered as a service from enterprise datacenters and public cloud service providers.
The platform seeks to streamline the development, delivery and operations of modern applications, significantly enhancing the ability of developers to deploy, run and scale their applications in cloud environments. It is also expected to help users embrace a wide choice of public and private clouds, industry-standard high productivity developer frameworks and application infrastructure services.
With this announcement, VMware is introducing a new VMware-operated developer cloud service, a new open source PaaS project and what is claimed to be the first ever 'Micro Cloud' PaaS solution. The company introduced Cloud Foundry at a live event attended by thousands of developers.
Cloud Foundry is a modern application platform built specifically to simplify the end-to-end development, deployment and operation of cloud era applications. The service is projected to orchestrate heterogeneous application services and applications built in multiple frameworks, and automate deployment of applications and their underlying infrastructure across diverse cloud infrastructures.
