Cloud Foundry Training

Cloud Foundry for DevOps

This four-day course is an in-depth primer on building and operating Cloud Foundry clusters with BOSH as well as a deep dive into deployment, configuration, and management of Cloud Foundry installations.

Students will gain experience in deploying BOSH and Cloud Foundry. From here, the course expands on working with orgs and spaces, quotas, and security groups within Cloud Foundry and covers advanced usage of the Cloud Foundry CLI.

Day three and four are dedicated to exploring topics related to HA deployments, buildpacks, CF CLI plugins, and interaction between the BOSH Director and a BOSH Agent.

Cloud Foundry for Developers

This three-day course introduces application developers to the core principles of the microservices architecture, the Cloud Foundry architecture, CF components roles and limitations, common approaches to cloud-native development and best practices in using Cloud Foundry.

The participants will gain experience in troubleshooting techniques, app configuration and performance optimization in the cloud. This course is based on hands-on exercises and gives developers an extended overview of various tools, services and frameworks which become essential in Cloud Foundry.

Logging and Monitoring in Cloud Foundry

Logging and monitoring components are crucial for flawless operation of any complex real-world system, Cloud Foundry in particular.

At the training, the attendees will learn how to effectively organize activities around distributed system monitoring and collection of logs from infrastructure components, Cloud Foundry components and applications.

Centralized Log Management with the Elastic Stack

This course is a complete overview of Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, and Machine Learning features from the Elastic Stack. Attendees will learn how to leverage logs to spot infrastructure problems, business issues, or cyber attacks using dashboards, parsing rules, and machine learning algorithms. The training program covers installation, configuration, and troubleshooting of high availability Elasticsearch clusters, working with logging pipelines, and building actionable dashboards for complex, distributed systems like Cloud Foundry.

IBM Bluemix for App Developers

This training is intended for application developers and provides an in-depth knowledge required for developing and deploying cloud-native apps to Bluemix.

It starts with an introduction to Cloud Foundry and IBM Bluemix, then providing an overview of the best practices, tools, and services available for developers who will create cloud-native apps. A large part of the course is dedicated to hands-on practice.

Concourse Training

Concourse is a open source CI/CD system with approximately 100 integrations, which allows developers to modernize the cloud-native software delivery. Being originally built specifically for Cloud Foundry, Concourse helps build pipelines to shorten the software delivery iteration cycle by automating testing, deployment and publishing processes.
