Cloud Foundry: Industry's Open Platform As A Service. Deploy and scale applications in seconds, without locking yourself into a single cloud.

Garden is the component that Cloud Foundry uses to create and manage isolated environments called containers. Each instance of an application deployed to Cloud Foundry runs within a container. For more information about how containers work, see the Container Mechanics section of the Understanding Container Security topic.

Warden manages isolated, ephemeral, and resource-controlled environments. The primary goal of Warden is to provide a simple API for managing isolated environments. These isolated environments, or containers, can be limited in terms of CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, and network access. The only currently supported OS is Linux.

Diego is Cloud Foundry's container management system, responsible for scheduling, running, and monitoring application instances and tasks. It ensures applications are efficiently distributed across virtual machines (VMs, maintains desired application states, and automatically recovers from failures to uphold high availability. Key Features and Functionality: - Container Orchestration: Diego manages the lifecycle of application containers, handling their creation, execution, and termination. - Task and Process Management: It differentiates between one-time tasks and long-running processes (LRPs, allocating resources accordingly to optimize performance. - Self-Healing Mechanism: Diego monitors application health and automatically restarts instances that have crashed, ensuring continuous operation. - Load Balancing: Through the Diego Auction system, it balances workloads across VMs, optimizing resource utilization and application resilience. - Platform Agnostic: Built with flexibility in mind, Diego supports various operating systems and architectures, facilitating diverse deployment environments. Primary Value and Problem Solved: Diego addresses the complexities of container orchestration within Cloud Foundry by automating the deployment, scaling, and management of applications. It ensures that applications run reliably and efficiently, automatically handling failures and distributing workloads to maintain optimal performance. This automation reduces operational overhead, allowing developers to focus on building applications without concerning themselves with the underlying infrastructure.

BOSH is an open source tool for release engineering, deployment, lifecycle management, and monitoring of distributed systems.

Cloud Foundry is an open-source cloud application platform, designed to support the full lifecycle of cloud-native application development. It allows developers to build, deploy, run, and scale applications in a variety of programming languages and frameworks. Cloud Foundry is renowned for its robust system for continuous delivery and integration, enabling enterprises to manage their cloud applications with ease. The platform is highly customizable and interoperable with various cloud providers, offering flexibility in deployment. Cloud Foundry is governed by the Cloud Foundry Foundation, which ensures its development aligns with open-source principles and community collaboration.
