What is Cloud Foundry?

An open Platform as a Service providing a faster and easier way to build, test, deploy and scale applications.

  • Deploy an app with cf push my-app
  • Scale with cf scale my-app -i 100
  • Delete with cf delete my-app
A full lifecycle in 3 lines; pretty good.

What does Armakuni do?

We help organisations deliver business-critical value using Cloud Foundry; reducing cost, removing vendor lock-in and providing agile, fast-feedback delivery pipelines and runtimes at proven large scale.

How do we do this?

Through consultancy and development services in the following areas:

  • Architecting for Cloud Foundry;
  • Continuous Delivery Pipelines;
  • Developer tooling and environments.
