Cloud Foundry Summit Europe 2017

Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry are usually seen as alternatives to one another. But Sandy and Monika believe they can not only coexist, they can be leveraged to exploit each other's strengths. They describe how they deployed Cloud Foundry as a set of containers running on a Kuberntes cluster. They describe the design and development of a Kubernetes CPI for Bosh, including both advantages and limitations of the approach. They also discuss planned enhancements to the CPI, such as using k8s Replication Sets and Ingress Controllers to provide deployment and operational flexibility, and which can bring some decided advantages for deploying Cloud Foundry. They also discuss some of the performance and runtime concerns, including nested containerization.
