The features are designed to enhance how the open source infrastructure management software integrates with Microsoft’s platforms.
Starting today, developers will be able to access Cloud Foundry’s command line management tools by default using Azure Cloud Shell, a feature of Microsoft’s cloud that provides developers with a terminal prompt that can be accessed over the internet. That makes it possible for engineers familiar with the technology to set it up using the same commands they’d use on a local machine, without having to install anything.
Azure SQL Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL will also now integrate with Cloud Foundry, making it easier for developers to use Microsoft’s managed database service with their CF deployments.
Cloud Foundry is designed to help developers write software without worrying about the underlying compute infrastructure powering it. It can run in on-premises data centers as well as in public cloud environments like Microsoft Azure.
