Come join an enthusiastic bunch of Cloud Foundry developers in this first annual Europe Summit Hackathon! Bring your ideas and energy as we build interesting prototypes to extend CF functionality where it has never gone before. Come with a team or come on your own and find a team during the event. Top three teams get awesome prizes and first place winners will be announced on stage during the Thursday morning keynotes. This is a free event.
Topics: Any project that extends and enhances CF in an interesting way. This could include: new CLI plugins, new buildpacks, additional multi-cloud capabilities via BOSH CPIs, innovative services or marketplace capabilities, reusing a Cloud Foundry component in a unique way, etc. The overall goal here is to build on Cloud Foundry itself, not to build applications that run on Cloud Foundry.
Rules: Maximum of 4 individuals per team, and at least 80% of code should be written during the event.
Schedule: The hackathon will start with a full day moderated session on Tuesday. Teams must submit their entries via email by 15:00 on Wednesday.

CredHub is a Cloud Foundry incubator product focused on credential management. It aims to centralize and secure credential generation, storage, lifecycle management and access control in Cloud Foundry.
In this session, Dan will demonstrate how to implement CredHub in an environment and describe the resulting change in security posture after making these changes. He will also review work in progress and future goals of the product.
A superior customer experience is now a competitive advantage, as Amazon so deftly demonstrates through its effective combination of software and data. We explore how traditional retailers can thrive in this new landscape by delivering a more compelling, personalized experience for their customers.
Starting with personas "modern customer" and "clothing retailer", we demo a microservices-based experimental solution which combines Cloud Foundry, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud Dataflow, cloud-based machine learning, and a mobile app.
The result: better engage with the customer, understand her, and deliver compelling offers that retain her loyalty.
The demo code is available under an Apache 2.0 license: https://github.com/pivotal-cf/oss-pcf-gcp-retail-demo
The concept of a service mesh represents a paradigm shift on application connectivity for distributed systems, with wide implications for analytics, policy and extensibility. In this talk, we will explain what a service mesh is, the power it brings to microservices, and its impact on Cloud Foundry and K8s, both separately and together. We will also discuss the implications for the traditional network infrastructure, and the shifting of responsibilities from L3/4 to L7.
You’re at the Cloud Foundry Summit, which means you are by definition a cloud-native enthusiast. There’s no question that building apps in this architectural style will produce resilient, scalable software in an agile manner, and allow you to operate it far more efficiently than you’ve been able to in the past. But you’ve also got a whole lot of software in your company’s portfolio that isn’t there yet. Do you have to resign yourself to the pains of managing those applications the old way until you can finally refactor them to be cloud-native? Kubo to the rescue.
You can run legacy applications on Kubo without significant refactoring – pure and simple. As an added bonus, it allows you to satisfy the CIO mandate of running containers (check). But it’s far more than that – running those workloads on Kubo offers advantages over running them on traditional virtualized infrastructure. This session covers those advantages –resource consolidation, health management, multi-cloud and more. It will also present the abstractions in Kubernetes, things like pods and stateful sets, that support running legacy workloads in the cloud environments that are far more distributed and changing than they have been in the past. It’s a first step to cloud-native.
With VMware Pivotal Container Service (PKS), your enterprise or service provider organization can deploy and consume container services with Kubernetes, built with high availability, security and operational efficiency.
In 5 minutes, we will share an overview of PKS.
Gemalto are using Cloud Foundry as the product delivery mechanism for a new marketplace of data protection services. Dan will explain how EngineerBetter have worked with Gemalto to iterate on their platform, build their team and shape their working process. Then Vincenzo will guide the audience through the platform architecture, showing how CF on public cloud has been integrated with physical datacentres to deliver the service. The audience will learn:
How Gemalto have made unique use of Cloud Foundry’s features to support their go-to-market aims
Continuous deployment and testing of CF, using Concourse to promote change across multiple environments
Practical examples of how to build high performance platform teams who have a product mindset
We rely on our monitoring to tell us when our services, Applications, or infrastructure diverge from “normal.” However, Orchestrators like Cloud Foundry and cloud providers have created a new world of dynamic infrastructure where normal is changing constantly, making it quite difficult to define. Join us as we share how Datadog's open source integrations with Cloud Foundry and help you see your cluster's health and performance.
In early 2017, representatives from Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, Mesos and Docker convened a working group to create a common Container Storage Interface. The intent of this interface is to provide a standard API that will allow a storage provider to write a single plugin that can attach their storage to any of the major container orchestrators.
In this talk, we will cover the design and logical flow of the Container Storage Interface, discuss its integration into Cloud Foundry, and look at some initial examples of storage plugin implementations.
Today’s enterprises are effectively using software innovation to gain competitive advantage, and in some cases, to change industries and disrupt business models. Supporting this focus on software innovation demands a platform that enables rapid application development and delivery while insulating developers from the daily operational complexities. Attend this session to learn how Virtustream Pivotal Cloud Foundry Service empowers DevOps with an enterprise-class and full managed cloud-native application development platform-as-a-service (PaaS) to drive enterprise software innovation.
The Cloud Foundry community has relied on a single Linux distribution since its inception. SUSE is building a new Cloud Foundry distribution and working with the Foundation to bring SUSE-based stemcells and stacks to the community. Learn about the new directions explored in this distribution, and how increasing the deployment options available for Cloud Foundry could broaden its user base and adoption.
Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) has never been more relevant than it is today. The release of various alternative platforms such as Kubernetes and Docker Swarm are proof positive that users and enterprises want an operating system for the cloud that can help them manage their containers and cloud resources. Cloud Foundry (CF) was at the forefront of PaaS and is easily the most adopted cloud platform on the market. However, it faces the classic innovator's dilemma problems that a successful leader experiences, as alternative platforms become viable. To continue to maintain its lead, we believe CF must aggressively innovate, improve, extend and embrace, so that a 1000 cloud innovative "flowers" bloom. The CF-Extensions PMC and projects are aiming at exactly that. Come hear the latest status of this new PMC and also how you can contribute your own innovative ideas to this growing garden.
For many organizations, low-code development is a critical part of digital transformation programs, as it allows for capturing fast-moving opportunities in time and differentiating with stunning software applications. In this session, you will learn how SAP, in partnership with Mendix, is providing tooling to develop enterprise-grade cloud applications at an unprecedented speed by combining the powerful capabilities of SAP Cloud Platform with visual model-driven development, business-IT collaboration, full application lifecycle management and one-click deployment to a cloud infrastructure of your choice.
Keytree have developed a suite of instore technologies for retailers, initially delivered to a UK Luxury Goods Company. The full suite includes mobile apps, connected devices and machine learning. The solution needs to be flexible to fit with differing retailers’ IT landscapes, provide a consumer-grade experience, and enterprise reliability. Learn how to use Cloud Foundry services to rapidly deliver the required innovation, flexibility and scalability in luxury retail.
