Cloud Foundry
Cloud Foundry is a popular container orchestration system for automating software deployment, scaling and management. Automating execution from within Cloud Foundry creates an additional island of automation for IT Operations to manage. This allows you to easily integrate Cloud Foundry activities with your existing enterprise workload automation solution. Simply create your environment within Cloud Foundry and allow your enterprise workload automation solution to manage the scheduling of these processes. You are instantly inheriting the advanced capabilities of your enterprise solution to deliver your digital transformation quicker and more successfully. By extending your existing enterprise automation to Cloud Foundry you maintain end-to-end visibility, regain centralized command and control, alerting, SLA management, reporting and auditing.
