SUSE isn’t neglecting Cloud Foundry with its container management needs. SCAP will be a PaaS application delivery platform. It’s designed to streamline the life-cycle management of both legacy and new cloud-native applications. By bringing together Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes, container and cloud DevOps will enable companies to deliver PaaS software updates faster than ever.
SCAP also simplifies Cloud Foundry management by leveraging Kubernetes to deploy and manage a containerized version of Cloud Foundry. The containerized implementation takes up only a fraction of the memory footprint of other Cloud Foundry distributions. SUSE claims it’s faster to recover and scale.
Abby Kearns, the Cloud Foundry Foundation’s executive director, said:
Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime already serves as the industry standard cloud application platform, making enterprise developers’ lives easier and more efficient in more than half of the Fortune 500. As demand continues to grow, so does the need for more Cloud Foundry software distributions from a provider who can address the different business models and IT strategies for enterprise customers. We are delighted to see the new Cloud Foundry distribution from SUSE, and fully support SUSE as they serve enterprises with the very best technology for modern application delivery.
Al Gillen, IDC group vice president for software development and open source, added:
Streamlining the deployment of application content packaged in containers has become a key focal point for the industry. Given its historical strength with infrastructure software, SUSE is well positioned to deliver consumable solutions for deploying and operating applications using containers in an agile environment.
SUSE CaaS Platform 2 will arrive in October. SCAP will be available in the fourth quarter.
