A new Cloud Foundry Foundation has been established with the aim of promoting a global standard for open Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). The effort will be managed as a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project and operate under a system of open governance created by a team of open source experts from founding Platinum Members EMC, HP, IBM, Intel, Pivotal, SAP and VMware.
As an open source project, Cloud Foundry is being used in a variety of commercial deployments including Pivotal Cloud Foundry, IBM Bluemix, HP Helion and Canopy Cloud Fabric among others.
The Cloud Foundry Foundation is also implementing a new approach to open source development called Dojo. This offers developers a unique “fast track” for commit rights, which often take more than a year to gain in a major project.
Recent technical features and community contributions to the project include:
- Docker support for Diego (early release available for testing)
- Ability to FUSE devices in containers
- Firehose: app logs and Cloud Foundry component metrics stream
- Expanded build pack support for Go, PHP, Python and more
- Internationalization and extensibility model for Cloud Foundry CLI
- BOSH external Cloud Provider Interface (CPI)
Gold members of the Cloud Foundry Foundation include Accenture, ActiveState, BNY Mellon, Capgemini, CenturyLink, Ericsson, GE, Hortonworks, NTT, SAS, Swisscom, and Verizon. Silver members include Akamai, Alpine Data Labs, Altoros, Anchora, Anynines, AppDirect, AppDynamics, Azul Systems, Blue Box, Braintribe, Canonical, Canopy, CloudCredo, Docker, Fujitsu, jFrog, Mimacom, Mendix, MongoDB, Piston Cloud Computing, Produban, Redis Labs, Stark & Wayne, Telus and Toshiba Solutions.
