Eclipse Tools for Cloud Foundry Overview
4Presented by Nieraj Singh & Elson Yuen.
The Eclipse Tools for Cloud Foundry is a member of the cloud family at Eclipse, and now officially part of the Neon simultaneous release and also part of the JEE EPP Package! The Tools can be used out of the box and also be extended by third parties to contribute their own Cloud Foundry flavors. This talk will introduce the project and show how to use this open source tool to deploy, test and manage Java applications on Cloud Foundry without leaving the Eclipse IDE. We will demo how to scale applications, manage service bindings and debug applications running on CF. We will also talk about the new functions introduced in Neon. Cloud Foundry itself is an open platform as a service that provides a choice of clouds, runtime frameworks, and application services. CFT is a flexible framework that can support different Cloud Foundry servers, including those using DEA and newer platforms based on Diego. It is an open source project with a growing community.
