IBM Cloud Private Cloud Foundry and Cloud Foundry Enterprise Environment platforms

IBM® Cloud Private Cloud Foundry offers a fullstack version and an enterprise environment version.

Note: IBM Cloud Private Cloud Foundry, a fullstack version which is a traditional Bosh based deployment, will be deprecated in an upcoming release. The Cloud Foundry Enterprise Environment, a Kubernetes based version, is the preferred Cloud Foundry deployment.

Cloud Foundry Enterprise Environment platform runs directly on IBM Cloud Private by using Kubernetes containers. IBM Cloud Private Cloud Foundry platform is available to run on VMware vSphere, AWS, and OpenStack.

The traditional deployment of Cloud Foundry is done using Bosh. Bosh communicates with the underlying IAAS to deploy and maintain the Cloud Foundry infrastructure by using virtual machines. This method does not take advantage of container architecture. Cloud Foundry Enterprise Environment allows for the deployment and maintenance of Cloud Foundry into Kubernetes, without the need for Bosh.
