Extending the Reach of Cloud Foundry: A New Stack and Supported OS - Cornelius Schumacher & Mario Manno, SUSE

In this talk the presenters will walk you through the different layers that make up a running Cloud Foundry deployment: hosts, stemcells and application stacks.

This is the first top-to-bottom alternative to Ubuntu in the Cloud Foundry arena, and it's all supported by SUSE.

With the new stemcell builder repo it's now easier than ever to create a custom stemcell. We added openSUSE as a completely new OS to the builder, but it can also be used to just modify existing stemcells.

A demo of a highly-available deployment SCF will show the product in action. The talk will also walk the audience through the changes that were required to support the new stack and the benefits that come with it.
