Using Cloud Foundry from STS | SpringSource Team Blog

By now you probably heard about Cloud Foundry, the open PaaS from VMware that was announced yesterday; if not make sure to check out the recording of the webcast. Eventually you have already read earlier blog posts introducing the Spring support for Cloud Foundry, the add-on for Spring Roo and the Grails plug-in.
With this post I’d like to introduce the Eclipse-based support for Cloud Foundry that lets you manage your cloud deployments, including configuration of Services and service bindings, application scaling, access to file resources and much more.

Back in April, VMware introduced Cloud Foundry to the world and with it came super-simple application deployment for Grails developers. Fast forward several months and now another piece of the jigsaw is in place: Micro Cloud Foundry. You can now have your own Cloud Foundry instance for testing or any other use case. And of course, it's incredibly easy to use from Grails.

Rapid Cloud Development with Spring Roo – Part 2: VMware Cloud Foundry | Javalobby

Spring Roo is a tool to offer rapid application development on the Java platform. I already explained when to use it: http://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2011/04/05/when-to-use-spring-roo. Spring Roo supports two solutions for Cloud Computing at the moment: Google App Engine (GAE) and VMware Cloud Foundry. Both provide the Platform as a Service (PaaS) concept. This article will discuss the Cloud Foundry support of Spring Roo. GAE was discussed in part 1 of this article series (http://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2011/07/18/rapid-cloud-development-with-spring-roo-%E2%80%93-part-1-google-app-engine-gae).

Model Two Zero: Running Cloud Foundry on Amazon EC2 (or any Ubuntu server!) and Deploying Using STS

Model Two Zero: Running Cloud Foundry on Amazon EC2 (or any Ubuntu server!) and Deploying Using STS

The idea with Cloud Foundry is that you can run it on any cloud infrastructure - hence the separation of cloudfoundry.org and cloudfoundry.com. The former is the open-source project that is building the infrastructure software, the latter is a commercial offering by VMWare.

So here's what this is about:

• Running Cloud Foundry on EC2 instead of the out-of-the-box cloud VMWare provide
• Connecting Spring STS to it
• Getting a grails app deployed
