Top 5 Reasons To Migrate From Cloud Foundry to Google Cloud

VMware held their SpringOne conference this week for developers and made a few announcements of note. If you can navigate the word salad, you’ll see that they’ve canceled their “Cloud Foundry on Kubernetes” program, effectively putting PCF on a dead-end path.

Now maybe a good time to look at Kf. With Kf, you can migrate your Cloud Foundry applications to Google Kubernetes Engine or Anthos without changing your developer workflows.


1/ VMware Springone conference is currently underway where for the first time they have authoritatively sunset Cloud Foundry. See excerpt below from Tanzu Blog
Nonetheless, after hundreds of discussions with our beta customers, we determined that the Tanzu Application Service for Kubernetes approach wouldn’t allow us to leverage and expose the key declarative primitives that make Kubernetes and its ecosystem so powerful. We also didn’t believe it would meet our standards for scalability, speed, security, and stability, nor would it deliver the kind of developer experience our customers have grown accustomed to. So, we pivoted. [https://tanzu.vmware.com/content/blog/vmware-tanzu-application-service-best-mission-critical-business-apps]


3/ At Google Next   CoreLogic. one of the first enterprises to adopt PCF will talk about their journey to migrate over 10K app instances from PCF across multiple foundations running on-prem and in GCP. 

CoreLogic is replatforming 10,000+ Cloud Foundry app-instances with Kf

An Ode To The Pivotal Dojo

First it is ironic that I am writing this post about Pivotal my old employer as a Googler . So please remember that these thoughts are my personal opinion only and NOT Google's.  Recently I got to legitimately reminisce about my early years at Pivotal.  Dojo A  dōjō  ( 道場 ,  Japanese pronunciation:  [doꜜː(d)ʑoː] [note 1] )  is a hall or place for immersive learning or meditation. This is traditionally in the field of martial arts, but has been seen increasingly in other fields, such as meditation and software development. The term literally means "place of the  Way " in Japanese. From my perspectives here are the 5 key tenets of the DOJO methodology.  Immersive Pair Programming- we used to call this -  I  do, We do , you do. The intent here is to teach them how to fish and not merely assist them or do it for them.  Pair programming resulted in both enablement and delivery.  Communication, feedback  and quick decisions. Run the team like a product team. There are typicall
