Key Benefits of Cloud Foundry Cloud Computing Three major types of cloud computing: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), which supplies only a foundation infrastructure, leaving the finish user accountable for the platform and environment configurations necessary to deploy applications. Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure are prime samples of IaaS. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), which give a finished product for clients, such as for example Gmail or Salesforce. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), which helps to lessen application development overhead (i.e. environment configuration) by giving a ready-to-use platform. PaaS services may be hosted along with infrastructure provided by an IaaS.
Cloud Foundry Cloud Foundry is an open source cloud computing platform developed in-house at VMware. It's now owned by Pivotal Software, which is really a joint venture made up of VMware, EMC, and General Electric. Cloud Foundry is optimized to provide: Fast application development and deployment. Highly scalable and available architecture. DevOps-friendly workflows.
