In this talk, Jim and Morgan will reflect on the improvements to BOSH in 2019 as well as provide insight into the focus areas and 2020 BOSH themes of investment.
This talk will cover the improvements the BOSH community has made for operators, release authors, and anyone in between. After discussing the updates over the last year, they will discuss planned improvements and the roadmap and strategy for the 2020 year. It's a chance to ask questions, provide feedback, and get a glimpse into where BOSH will be going next.

Containers are available on the internet, or you can build them from scratch, or you could even build upon an existing one. You may have seen a container with a base OS image and then packages that get installed on it. These packages could be open source or closed source. When you get a container, you may not know exactly what’s on its file system. And when you’re a company, how do you know that you have the legal right to ship and distribute that container? That's why companies have to go through an Open Source Licensing process to license the software on their container images. In this talk, Ramya and Maryam explain why licensing is crucial and yet difficult when it comes to containers. You will learn about the whole process of figuring out what makes a container, finding the packages included on it and finding licenses for those software packages.

UAA is the mission critical infrastructure within Cloud Foundry platform. In response to Cloud Foundry usage trends, we are repositioning UAA as an identity proxy versus an identity provider. To support that transition, we are making architectural changes to enable UAA as a service provider, connecting client applications with identity providers, as well as further strengthening our security posture by deprecating low use or outdated functionalities.
What’s even more exciting, we are investing to improve the supportability and operability of UAA, simplifying the platform operator and application developer experience with two major tooling makeovers.

The Eirini project is bringing pluggable container scheduling to the Cloud Foundry Application Runtime. In other words: the `cf push` developer experience we all love, with your choice of container orchestrator - including Kubernetes - under the covers.
This session introduces the Eirini project, talks through the reasons behind it, updates the audience on the latest progress (passing CATs! available in beta! ready to try out!) and tells you what it means for your developers (not much) and your operators (potentially, quite a lot!).
The speakers will also demo getting up and running with Eirini on Kubernetes using a single Helm chart. After this the audience will be able to try out the `cf push` developer experience, going from code to first-class Deployments, Pods and Services in your existing Kubernetes cluster, all in a single command!

There are two popular platforms for deploying your cloud-native applications - Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry. Kubernetes is the great for its flexibility, control over your application and is a great container orchestrator. Cloud Foundry is the go-to platform where you don't want to worry about your infrastructure, networking, scaling, and routing. It also has the best developer experience in the industry.
With Quarks, deployment is simplified using BOSH features, but keeping the flexibility of Kubernetes.
In this session, you will learn about this new framework and its building blocks for deploying cloud-native applications which has the best features of the two worlds.
We also want to give some insight into the work done and get feedback on the current state._
We believe "Quarks" is the next buzz word for these conferences. Join us else you miss the train ride.

In this talk, we will demonstrate and describe the work that SUSE has done to extend the Stratos management interface to include support for Kubernetes and Helm.
We will talk about how we have used the Stratos extension mechanism to add new endpoint types for Kubernetes and Helm and we will show some of the features that SUSE has been developing.
We’ll talk about where SUSE is headed next in extending Stratos beyond Cloud Foundry into a Multi-cloud Management interface.

Imagine a world where you don't have to wait for your deployments to finish. Imagine if you had just enough time to get a cup of tea but not more before your deployment was done. If you like this world, this talk is for you. This talk will explore an idea which makes bosh releases a bit unconventional, but it will make deployments super fast. The talk will go deep on stemcell customisation in order to skip compilation and network usage all together.

“Pushing Mongo” is skater slang for kicking with the wrong foot. Urban Dictionary defines it as “a stupid way to skateboard.” The cloud native community agrees. Pushing your stateful services to Cloud Foundry is generally accepted to be an anti-pattern, and if you feel like doing it, you’re wrong.
But what if you still feel like doing it?
In the past, we haven’t been able to push databases to Cloud Foundry because the Diego scheduler favors high availability, and doesn’t provide the requisite guarantees needed to offer single-attach or block storage. But Cloud Foundry running with Eirini no longer uses Diego.
In this talk, we will demonstrate how Project Eirini allows us to provision and attach block storage to our containerized workloads and yes, to “cf push” MongoDB. What could possibly go wrong?
Julian is the PM of the Cloud Foundry Persistence team, and an employee of the Dell EMC Office of the CTO. In his spare time, Julian enjoys traveling, cooking, sporadic exercise, and building stuff that isn’t software.
In this talk, the Diego team will survey how the Diego components interact inside of CF to run application instances and tasks and then dive into how those interactions have evolved over the past year to improve system stability, security, and scale. This talk will also review how recent work in Diego supports powerful platform capabilities such as first-class support for app developer specified sidecars, improved reliability of the CF routing tiers, and other features that the core Cloud Foundry teams are working on or considering for development today.
Sunjay Bhatia is a software engineer at Pivotal Cloud Foundry, working on the Diego container runtime team. He has previously worked on the Garden-Windows team, helping to bring Windows Server Containers to Cloud Foundry.
The Garden Windows team has been working hard to give Windows workloads “pragmatic parity” with their Linux counterparts. That work includes enabling custom certificate authority injection, ensuring graceful process termination, maintaining route integrity using TLS, and securing container-to-container networking. In this project update, Yael and Genevieve will cover these new features with a demonstration of configuring and enabling custom certificate authorities for Windows containers in a Cloud Foundry deployment, an implementation review of the graceful shutdown process that provides workloads time to shutdown cleanly, and an update on the status of running Istio and Envoy on Windows.

By now you’ve already heard about Eirini. An awesome project that allows the deployment and management of applications on Kubernetes using the Cloud Foundry Platform.
We want to talk about “eirinix” - a framework that allows you to extend Eirini, built from the Quarks codebase, which leverages Kubernetes Mutating Webhooks.
With the flexibility of Kubernetes and Eirini’s architecture, we can now build features around Eirini, like Persi support, access to the application via SSH, ASGs via Network Policies and more.
In this talk, we’ll explain how this can be done, and how everyone can start contributing to a rich ecosystem of extensions that will improve Eirini and the developer experience of Cloud Foundry.

CloudFoundry's config server API has changed the way we're able to manage our infrastructure's secrets by limiting the amount of information our Bosh director needs to remember. Even though the config server API was designed as a generic abstraction, Credhub was the only secure implementation of it.
At Zipcar we were already invested in Vault and didn't want to have to manage two secret storage solutions, so we decided to write a config server implementation that was able to use Vault as a backend. This talk introduces the bosh-vault open source project, explores working with config servers and Bosh in general, and talks about the awesome community support that made this experiment possible.
