What does Cloud Foundry do?

The Cloud Foundry Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in 2015 under the Linux Foundation. It focuses on the development, promotion, and global adoption of Cloud Foundry, an open source Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) technology. The Foundation operates with open governance to foster a community of contributors and drive industry standards for PaaS, ensuring portability across multi-cloud environments. Cloud Foundry, the Foundation's flagship product, allows developers to build, deploy, run, and scale applications in cloud-native environments. It supports various languages and frameworks, integrates with developer tools, and is customizable for different cloud providers. The Foundation also offers governance and certification through the Cloud Foundry Certified Provider program, which sets the standard for reliable PaaS portability. With a strong membership base, including major companies like IBM and SAP, the Foundation promotes collaboration and innovation within the ecosystem.
