Cloud Foundry makes it exceptionally simple to deploy and manage applications with simple commands like 'cf push'. However, what if your application grows in complexity, the number of deployed components explodes and it becomes difficult to keep an overview of the required services and bindings? Many organisations are facing these challenges sooner or later. So did dorma+kaba Group, one of the world’s leading providers of security and access solutions, while developing their new internet based Access-as-a-Service solution - Exivo. The development team had to manage more than 60 applications using 30+ services running in multiple environments. Deployment scripts and CI-Server configurations where getting to complex, inflexible and slow. This lead to the decision to develop a more flexible, reliable and faster deployment tool. Together with members of the ZHAW School of Engineering Init Cloud Computing Lab (ICCLab) the "Cloud Foundry Deployment Toolkit" was designed and implemented.
Leveraging the successful concepts of BOSH to manage applications on-top of Cloud Foundry by separating the application structure from the deployment configuration, it facilitates dynamic deployment of complex applications to multiple runtime environments with minimal effort. By comparing the actual with the desired state, the framework provides workflows to automatically detect the minimal required changes to update an application to a new release with zero downtime. The support for individual workflows allows more complex scenarios, including for example migrations of versioned data stores.
The framework helped dorma+kaba to streamline the deployment workflow and cut deployment times by more than a factor of two.

Frequent Flying Foundry Style: An IoT Microservices and Secure Insight Platform for the Aviation Industry - Sarah Cooper, M2Mi & Shyam Nath, GE Digital
The potential role of Internet of Things in next generation Airports and the broader Aviation Ecosystem is astounding. From reducing trip time to decreasing on-tarmac collisions, IoT’s enablement of shared real time resources and cross-ecosystem collaboration dramatically changes the value generation game in a traditionally siloed industry. The key to unlocking the cross-ecosystem potential is the creation of a secure, shared Aviation services platform that allows stakeholders to securely share insights without compromising data integrity and ownership. CloudFoundry is the perfect basis for such an industry shared resource.
M2Mi and GE, along with several industry players are developing an Industrial IoT platform for Aviation based on the combination of M2Mi’s IoT platform and GE’s Predix platform on Cloud Foundry. This Aviation Shared IIoT Services platform serves as the basis for the Industrial Internet Consortium's Aviation Testbed and consists of aviation and airport control and data services with industry specific microservices for the real time management of cybersecurity, insight generation and private information sharing. We’ll walk through the architecture and Cloud Foundry components that are re-imagining air travel and aviation for the industry at large.

Launching the Next Generation Satellite Ground System on Cloud Foundry and Microservices – One Year Later - Michael Weirzbinski, DigitalGlobe; Mike Waters, DigitalGlobe; & Steve Wall, ECS Team
Last year at Cloud Foundry Summit, DigitalGlobe presented its rationale, plans, and early experience in the use of Cloud Foundry as the basis of its next generation Ground System. It’s now a year later, and we are in the midst of realizing that vision – culminating in a launch of DigitalGlobe’s latest satellite, WorldView-4, later this year.
This presentation describes the discoveries that we’ve made in scaling up a major development effort running on top of Cloud Foundry. It includes discussion of our current environment as well as how we have overcome both technical and cultural challenges along the way. Finally, we’ll include a discussion of the how our view of Cloud Foundry, microservices, and related infrastructure have evolved over the last year.
