Korifi Bridges The Gap Between Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes
Channel: TFiR
Date: 12/01/2024

The Cloud Foundry Foundation owns several projects for the Kubernetes community, overlapping with bigger themes like platform engineering and simplifying Kubernetes for the end user. Two projects that Cloud Foundry wants to shine the spotlight on are Cloud Foundry Korifi, a Cloud Foundry abstraction on Kubernetes, and Paketo Buildpacks, an implementation of the cloud-native build pack specification. 

The Korifi project is progressing with the community building lots of improvements in terms of getting Korifi closer to engineering teams who want to try it before they adopt it. One of their improvements has been to solve the problem of local installs with a sophisticated local installer where you can get Korifi running on a client cluster running locally. Support for Docker-based containers is also just being announced.
