Cloud Native Buildpacks: A Paradigm Shift for Enterprise App Builds - Stephen Levine & Ben Hale, Pivotal Software, Inc.

The Cloud Native Buildpacks project was initiated by Pivotal and Heroku in January 2018 and joined the Cloud Native Sandbox in October 2018. The project aims to unify the buildpack ecosystems with a platform-to-buildpack contract that is well-defined and that incorporates learnings from maintaining production-grade buildpacks for years at both Pivotal and Heroku.

In this presentation, Stephen Levine and Ben Hale (CNB Project Owners at Pivotal) will discuss the features and benefits of Cloud Native Buildpacks in the context of the core CF Buildpacks and CF Java Buildpacks projects in the CF Extensions PMC. Topics will include using buildpacks outside of CFAR, and upcoming changes to the current Cloud Foundry buildpacks.
