Jana Richter is leading the SAP Cloud Platform Core Product Management team - current focus topics: multi cloud strategy, Cloud Foundry environment, runtimes and backing services, XSA programming model, hybrid cloud setups.
We all have gone through the process of hiring or applying for a job. In most cases, it's very tedious to verify a candidate's credentials (academic, employment, professional records), and even more to prove one’s own credentials. After the job offer, the bureaucracy starts. One of the most time-consuming processes is background checks to verify the applicant’s identity, education and employment history. How can a recruiter trust a resume the moment he receives it? How can resume records be notarized and verified in a blink of an eye with bullet-proof confidence? Is it possible to empower applicants to provide pre-verified records and still allow them the ownership of their information? TrueRec solves all these problems by utilizing Blockchain , Machine Learning all built on Cloud Foundry.
In this talk, we will discuss about the building blocks , blockchain architecture and cloud foundry components that we have leveraged.

Cloud computing demonstrates, how to think beyond the idea of an unscalable infrastructure. Applying this idea to cars, the showcase SAP Hybris Smart Driving demonstrates the possibility to access additional range of functions. Increasing or decreasing horse power can for example impact the insurance costs. It utilizes SAP Hybris Revenue Cloud for subscription and pay-per-use billing. Hands-free is a must-have in cars, therefore voice recognition technology and digital assistant service are used to subscribe for additional range of functions.
Following the micro service architecture and API-first pattern in our applications like SAP Hybris Revenue Cloud, customers, partners and developers can easily integrate but also reinvent their business model. The necessary scalability and flexibility is provided by SAP Cloud Platform and Cloud Foundry. During the presentation we will demonstrate a smart driving adventure in virtual reality and explaining the architecture behind the scene. The architectural concept provides insights, on how integration and extensibility concepts could look like. Discussion on the blueprint are welcome.
Microservices are frequently touted as “SOA done right”. Cloud Foundry and microservice architectures are ideally suited for one another, with Cloud Foundry handling underlying issues such as scaling, failover, load balancing, etc. When coupled with a strong API layer, true continuous software delivery becomes a reality for developers. This architecture is ideal for applying API management which provides usage monitoring, service discovery and monetization. Additionally businesses and application developers increasingly rely on external APIs for quick and efficient enhancement of their core data and business processes, whether on premise or in the cloud.
SAP as a world leader in business data, touching over $16 Trillion of consumer purchases globally, has committed to moving its business into the cloud, supporting API development and choosing Cloud Foundry as its strategic architecture for its Cloud Platform. Come discover how you can leverage this new paradigm of data openness to tap into Enterprise APIs, and how API Management enables developers to quickly and easily monetize software built on these APIs.

Business Rules help the LoBs to react with changing business by empowering end users to author/change rules on the go. Now a days, business rules are used almost everywhere from IoT to big data use-cases, due to the flexibility and power it provides to business users.
In this session, you will learn: 1) How to filter noise at Edge/Hub itself using Business Rule Engine 2) How an IoT application deployed on Cloud Foundry can embed the rule engine to empower business user to take right decisions on the go. 3) In general, how the business rules service can be used to model the rule for your cloud foundry applications.
Most enterprise applications depend upon a powerful underlying database engine for data storage and data intensive business logic. On top of it, it is common to use languages like Java for business services and JavaScript for sleek user experience. It is also highly desirable to develop, debug and test such polyglot applications locally before deploying them in the Cloud.
This session will demonstrate (with working code) some best practices for: - Using Cloud Foundry for implementing micro-services architecture for all application layers (including database driven micro-services) - Developing and testing polyglot applications with a local Cloud Foundry instance on your laptop and deploying the very same application code to Cloud

Polyglot programming is not just using multiple programming languages, it also involves multiple frameworks and multiple services.
Whether we choose it or not, as technologies evolve, polyglot programming is already there in every corporate environment. Best thing to do is to understand it better and make the right decisions to choose the right programming language/framework/service based on the problem at hand.
We will look at • What is polyglot programming? • Risks of polyglot programming? What are the trade-offs? • What are the patterns and anti-patterns you need to watch out for when you are using it?

With BOSH, you can deploy complex distributed systems like Cloud Foundry with ease. The difficulties start with day 2: If you are an operator, you need to gain a deep understanding how your system behaves, especially in error cases.
There are some methods to increase understanding of production system: A real-time visualization of a system's network traffic makes it easy to spot anomalies. Additional usage of a chaos-monkey can help you to verify your assumptions about the system's ability to cope with certain errors. You can gain more insights if you drill deeper in the raw network data.
In this talk, we show how we built a visualization and analysis tool for a netflix-like intuition engineering experience entirely from open-source components. By looking at a small example and a bigger Cloud Foundry installation, we discuss how both, visualization and deeper analysis can help us to get a better understanding of our system and discover new insights. And, of course, we use a few BOSH features to make our lives easier.
There are many applications that don’t exactly fit the 12-factor rules but it would still be useful to deploy them on Cloud Foundry.
SAP used the admin-ui project as a BOSH release to monitor the status of its Cloud Foundry deployments until it was considered an unnecessary effort to maintain a BOSH deployment for the specific use case. Unfortunately, admin-ui was not designed to be deployed as Cloud Foundry application.
The solution was to wrap the application in a way that allows the user to set all necessary configuration parameters in the manifest and deploy it on Cloud Foundry. Even if the talk will focus on the admin-ui, the procedure can be applied to any application which does not support injection of configuration parameters as environment variables like standard Cloud Foundry applications.

Cloud Foundry is a great abstraction layer for developing Cloud-native applications. In order to develop applications, you will also need backing services for caching, messaging, persistence and so on, besides an application runtime. Redis, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, and Postgres are some examples of such backing services. So far, there has been no open source offering that will allow you to provision, and operate backing service instances for Cloud Foundry in an automated/managed way including backup & restore, updates/upgrades and more. SAP’s open source offering called “Service Fabrik” (https://github.com/SAP/service-fabrik-boshrelease), provides a well defined contract and framework to provision and operate services to close this gap. While it is the basis for SAP’s own service offerings, Service Fabrik allows to deploy services described by either BOSH releases or as Docker containers. In this session, we’ll show the basics of Service Fabrik, the features and functions the framework provides and how easy it is to integrate your own services into it.

Cloud Foundry (CF) has been running apps in containers from the beginning. However, CF itself is deployed with BOSH on virtual machines. At the same time, we see more and more services outside of CF being deployed on container platforms, such as Mesos or Kubernetes.
We love BOSH, but apparently, container schedulers have advantages over VMs. How do you deploy a CF based product with additional services on Kubernetes? Others want to take BOSH out of the equation. We want to preserve it. Thus, we take a more evolutionary than revolutionary approach.
In this talk, we show how to deploy regular BOSH releases without modifications using a naive Kubernetes CPI https://github.com/SAP/bosh-kubernetes-cpi-release. We discuss the obstacles we encountered on the way and the current limitations of the CPI. Furthermore, we would like to start a discussion about how to evolve BOSH to overcome some of the current limitations and make container platforms just another deployment choice.

This talk is about our long journey towards a robust and scalable application log ingestion and processing pipeline for SAP Hana Cloud Platform. While we initially paved the way leveraging the streaming feature based on user provided services, it soon became clear that it lacked some usability features. We then decided to switch gears and moved to the Loggregator Firehose, which made life easier for application developers, but required additional effort on our end, especially in large-scale production environments. The lessons we learned (the hard way) on that leg finally convinced us to take a different road again. Next is SLEEVE, a brokered log forwarding service, with features such as quotas and burst limits. Best part is: We plan to make open source.
Volume services are a new feature of Cloud Foundry that allow service brokers to expose services which are mounted as a file system into run-time environment of the bound applications. Volume services thus allow legacy applications which expect a persistent and shared file system to run on Cloud Foundry.
This session will give an introduction to volume services, how to use them, and show you how to build your own file system service.
