Deploying Scalable Microservices with Cloud Foundry

Modern application development relies heavily on microservices, but managing and scaling them across cloud environments can quickly become overwhelming. This text-based course guides you through the core concepts of Cloud Foundry, demonstrating how to deploy, manage, and scale applications with ease. You will transition from understanding basic cloud-native architecture to confidently configuring microservice routing, load balancing, and service discovery. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational Cloud Foundry architecture and core cloud-native terminology - Deploy microservices using standardized runtime environments and modern buildpacks - Configure built-in load balancing and routing to ensure application high availability - Implement service discovery to enable seamless communication between independent services - Apply 12-factor application principles for modern cloud-native development - Manage application scaling and monitor health metrics using command-line interfaces The course begins with essential terminology and the foundational mechanics of cloud platforms, before moving step-by-step into practical configuration scenarios. You will practice through clear written explanations, detailed configuration snippets, and structured conceptual exercises. This course is designed for beginner cloud engineers, developers, and system administrators who want to understand platform-as-a-service concepts. No prior experience with Cloud Foundry is required.
