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.

      The Cloud Controller API v3 is the primary REST control plane
      for Cloud Foundry. It manages organizations, spaces,
      applications, processes, builds, droplets, packages, routes,
      domains, service instances, service brokers, tasks, users,
      roles, and platform metadata. Authentication is delegated to
      UAA via OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens.

      The User Account and Authentication (UAA) server is Cloud
      Foundry's identity provider and OAuth 2.0 authorization server.
      It issues tokens consumed by the Cloud Controller, brokers, and
      operator tooling, and supports SAML and LDAP federation,
      multifactor authentication, and SCIM-style user and group
      management.

      Loggregator is Cloud Foundry's distributed log and metric
      pipeline that aggregates application logs, platform component
      logs, and metrics for streaming consumption by users and
      external sinks. It exposes a WebSocket Firehose, a v2 gRPC
      egress API, and the Reverse Log Proxy.

      The Open Service Broker API is the open specification originally
      developed by Cloud Foundry and now used by Kubernetes and other
      platforms to provision and manage backing services through a
      common HTTP interface. Brokers expose a catalog and lifecycle
      operations for service instances and bindings.

      API exposes deployment, stemcell, release, task, and VM
      lifecycle operations used by operators and CI tooling to
      manage Cloud Foundry itself and the workloads it depends on.
