What if enterprise developers could have an idea for an app, code it and deploy it into production in less than a day? Intel IT is addressing that very challenge by establishing PaaS for the developers of custom applications that land in Intel’s enterprise private cloud. With OpenStack at its core, Cloud Foundry provides a higher level of abstraction through the application runtime which speeds deployment and reduces support burden. Intel IT has deployed Cloud Foundry on OpenStack for broad, self-service Intel use. This session will share Intel IT experience to date, examine the technical solution, integration methods & benefits of OpenStack, and discuss future direction.

88% of respondents said they would use PaaS if offered by IT
Installing BOSH is a multistep process where a MicroBOSH instance is created and used to launch the full BOSH installation. Within OpenStack, this involves creating an inception VM where Ruby and the BOSH CLI are installed. Next the MicroBOSH stemcell is downloaded, the BOSH release is built, and the BOSH agent and the stemcell are installed. Once MicroBOSH is deployed, it’s director is targeted and the BOSH stemcell is downloaded. Next the BOSH release is created, the deployment manifest is setup and deployed via a simple “bosh deploy” command. Once BOSH is deployed the next step is to install Cloud Foundry.
