Cloud Foundry Fundamentals: Deploy and Scale Applications

Modern application deployment requires speed, reliability, and scalability without the overhead of managing complex underlying infrastructure. Cloud Foundry provides a powerful platform-as-a-service experience that simplifies how developers push code to production. By reading through this course, you will transition from understanding basic cloud concepts to deploying and managing your own applications on Cloud Foundry. You will learn how to interact with the platform, manage application lifecycles, and bind essential services. What you'll learn: - Understand the core architecture and foundational components of Cloud Foundry - Deploy applications confidently using the command-line interface and manifest files - Bind database and third-party services to your deployed applications - Scale applications horizontally and vertically to handle traffic demands - Apply twelve-factor app principles for modern, cloud-native development - Troubleshoot deployments using platform logs and environment variables Starting with essential cloud terminology and architecture, this course guides you through practical deployment workflows, service integration, and scaling strategies. This course is designed for beginners to cloud platforms, software developers, and system administrators with no prior Cloud Foundry experience.
