Cloud Foundry

aid: cloud-foundry
name: Cloud Foundry
description: Cloud Foundry is an open-source, multi-cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) governed by the Cloud Foundry Foundation.
  It provides a developer-friendly application platform where operators push source code or container images and Cloud Foundry
  handles staging, routing, scaling, and lifecycle management. The CF API (api.cloudfoundry.org) is the primary control plane
  and is documented at v3.cloudfoundry.org/version/release-candidate. The ecosystem also includes the User Account and Authentication
  (UAA) OAuth 2.0 server, the Loggregator log and metric pipeline, the Diego container scheduler, the Open Service Broker
  API for marketplace services, and the Eirini Kubernetes-based scheduler.
