Cloud Foundry Foundation launches Korifi to simplify the Kubernetes developer experience | TechCrunch

This article and video talks about the recent innovation of Korifi to simplify Cloud Foundry on Kubernetes for developers. The Cloud Foundry project has established itself as the go-to platform as a service (PaaS) for many larger enterprises that want to offer their developers a language-agnostic developer experience that abstracts away most of the infrastructure concerns. In its early days, before containers were a buzzword, Cloud Foundry built its own container ecosystem but has since, with this and other recent innovations such as KubeCF and cf-for-k8s refocused its efforts on building on top of Kubernetes.
The significance of these innovations and Korifi brings CF closer to seamless interoperability across various Kubernetes clusters in public and private cloud-native technologies. McLuckie noted that this new project is the result of some deeper changes to how the Cloud Foundry Foundation operates. “With Project Korifi, we’ve really come together as a community and worked through a lot of the structures that we put in place to emulate what we learned worked well in the Kubernetes community,” McLuckie explained. “So [we] have a technical oversight committee and special interest group forums to work through design, ideation and execution and then produce something which works not just for one vendor — or which was one vendor’s thesis of what an ideal abstraction of [Cloud Foundry] on a Kubernetes destination would look like — but to pull the broader group together.”
