HP & CloudFoundry Commty
Discussion on the CloudFoundry community and HP resources coming to help grow the project
John Furrier
Quesiton @hphelioncloud I overheard someone say that CF is the .NET of the cloud; implying very silo'd for lockin or semi successful at best; in context to msft older dev framework
Sriram Subramanian
is that person wearing hat red in color ?
HPE Cloud
I don't see it that way, CF is an open source alternative offering CHOICE, perhaps you are thinking of something related to a certain Krishnan
Matt Stine
I'm having a hard time following the analogy honestly. :-)
Mark Atwood
it's so easy to spin up your own CF on any infra, its already more lockin free than any other environment
Sriram Subramanian
@mstine there is some clique-y comments going on here
John Furrier
@mstine it was an analyst who was implying .NET failure to reach critical mass or any mass outside of msft can be said for CF. Implying a land grab. I'm just messenger
John Furrier
Mark Atwood said it best..openstack is fighting the lockin question which is good.
Matt Stine
Got it...funny thing to say when you look at the mass ecosystem of companies represented at #CFSummit
Crowd Captain
@FallenPegasus says "it's so easy to spin up your own CF on any infra, its already more lockin free than any other environment" - majority agree with him
Sriram Subramanian
I would say with OpenStack and Cloud Foundry, HP Helion Development Platform has best shot at non-vendor lockin
John Furrier
@sriramhere all vendor tactics aside composite development is winning combine that with #opensource lock in is the thing of the past; choice wins; open is the new lockin i guess
HPE Cloud
What is the connection b/w CF and #Docker?
Sriram Subramanian
Docke is one of the board members of CF Foundation
Matt Stine
#Docker is an amazing container description and orchestration framework. Soon developers will be able to push Dockerfiles to CF in the same manner as they push apps+buildpacks today.
John Furrier
@sriramhere Docker is the holy grail which will speed up all the goodness at the top of the stack..it's like a log jam waiting for something to speed things up
Matt Stine
This will allow developers to describe/build a very tuned runtime environment for apps and improve the continuous delivery story for apps on #CloudFoundry
Nicholas Walker
HPs CF implementation is already using Docker technology
Matt Stine
Can I push a Dockerfile/image or is it simply the backend container layer?
Sriram Subramanian
Nicholas Walker: that's cool!
Nicholas Walker
It is the backend container layer
Matt Stine
gotcha...that's great. The money shot is pushing Dockerfiles. I can't wait for it.
CrowdFather
@mstine Docker scares some people at VMware which is why @JerryChen invested because Paul Maritz will buy it
HPE Cloud
Is CF actively recruiting existing ISVs to leverage the platform for their enterprise solutions?
Dave Vellante
Martin Fink just announced a new open source OS optimized for Non-volatile memory - from scratch, from a stripped down linux and an android version - interesting
Crowd Captain
@dvellante HP with Saar and now with Fink joining the fray has assembled a killer team of elite forces to move fast and build up cloud with #opensource
Lisa-Marie Namphy
Agreed. And don't forget @bill_hilf is also in the mix! Killer team!
John Furrier
@dvellante I agree #opensource if HP plays it right can be the "judo" move on the market; they already have people in #openstack community - now they need to put their running shoes on and sprint!
John Furrier
@HPCloudAngel I really wanted to sit down and chat with Bill. I'll see him tonight and hope to chat then. Why isn't Fink coming on theCUBE?
Lisa-Marie Namphy
@furrier Exactly! And speaking of CUBE alums, don't forget @e_monty is also on the team! :) Open source is in 'da house!!!
CrowdFather
@dvellante I'd like to see these new execs vision is there video
Sriram Subramanian
That's something all the open source communities could do better.
Lisa-Marie Namphy
@furrier He's a bit busy. On mainstage RIGHT NOW at #hpdiscover. ;)
John Furrier
Question When will HP cloud be open for business
Josh Barry
the dev platform will be available end of this month
Josh Barry
the free version, built for Helion OpenStack Community that is
John Furrier
@joshbarry today's release said something about q4
Sriram Subramanian
Just to be clear, HP Helion OpenStack Community Edition is GA tomorrow
HPE Cloud
HP Helon Development Platform Community Preview is available at end of this month
HPE Cloud
@sriramhere This is the #PaaS area not the #OpenStack solutions but glad you are here chatting
Sriram Subramanian
and HP Cloud is open for business for LONG :)
Lisa-Marie Namphy
Cloud Don is correct. Ping @rajraj with any questions. :)
John Furrier
Thanks for clearing up the dev CF vs HP Cloud; check; now isn't HP Cloud on @hphelion ?
HPE Cloud
We are now on @hphelioncloud with the new branding
HPE Cloud
To "run" CF, do I have to setup a Cloud environment or is there a simple way to start working with the platform?
Matt Stine
an easy way to start working as a developer is to join a public CF provider like Pivotal Web Services: https://run.pivotal....

and a great way to experiment with running CF itself is BOSH Lite: https://github.com/c...
Josh Barry
hp has a pre-baked CF based image in its public cloud. easy way to get going.
Matt Stine
Our friends at @starkandwaye also announced "Try Cloud Foundry" last night at #CFSummit Hack Night: https://trycf.starka...
Nicholas Walker
HP Helion Development Platform Community edition is free - preview version with CF available at end of June
HPE Cloud
With the addition of HP and other companies to the creation of a CF Foundation, do you anticipate a significant change in capabilities from the project?
Sriram Subramanian
i'd see more adoption; not necessarily significant changes in capabilities
Matt Stine
I think our partners in the foundation are going to deliver significant additional capability. Foundation members have already delivered features like multi-AZ support, Docker support, .NET support, etc.
Sriram Subramanian
however, given HP's strong contributions to OpenStack, this could change with more HP contribution to CF
Matt Stine
some of these are tightly integrated into the core now, others are on the way via incubation
Nicholas Walker
I see CF growing more robust at a faster rate
Nicholas Walker
There is a lot of enterprise experimentation with CF. Roadmap and more horsepower from additional members will help take those experiments to mainstream production
Matt Stine
#PivotalCF has a few production customers today attending #CFSummit
