Some of the biggest problems developers have had with the Cloud Controller API have traditionally revolved around lifecycle management of their apps. The lack of features like version rollbacks, zero downtime deployment, running one-off tasks, simplified database migration, and running multiple processes per application have frustrated many developers.
The CAPI team is working on making all this and more possible with V3 of the cloud controller API. The new application modelling provides much more flexibility and control over the workflows available to you for application deployment. Many of these features are already available as pre-release/experimental APIs on recent versions of Cloud Foundry.
Utako and Dan will explain how to take advantage of these (as well as some existing functionality you may not have seen before). This talk is targeted towards application developers at any experience level who would like to learn more about taking advantage of and building tooling using the Cloud Controller API V3. Attendees can expect a live demo showing real use cases for these features.
Dan is a consultant at Pivotal Labs who has been working with and on Cloud Foundry in multiple capacities since 2013. He is a core contributor to the Cloud Controller API.Utako and Dan previously presented on the Cloud Controller API at the 2016 North American CF Summit.
