The Cloudcast #198 - Architecting Cloud Foundry

Aaron and Brian talk to Chip Childers (@chipchilders, VP of Technology @CloudFoundryOrg) about the current status of Cloud Foundry projects, how Microsoft .NET will be integrated, IaaS vs. PaaS, and the CF.org thinking about overall interoperability
Topic 1 - From an overall project perspective, what grades would you give Cloud Foundry in terms of stability, core functionality, security, operations, etc?

Topic 2 - You were previously involved (directly/indirectly)with CloudStack. As you talk to people in the marketplace, how is it different discussing IaaS vs. PaaS.

Topic 3 - How much ability will you have to drive prioritization within sub-projects or new projects? (eg. Security vs. new Languages vs. Interop, etc.)

Topic 4 - What’s the CF.org way of thinking about interoperability?

Topic 5 - What guidance are you giving the teams in terms of expandability of Cloud Foundry? Architecturally, are there certain places you recommend over other places?

Topic 6 - Is there a place for integrating SaaS applications (monitoring, logging, etc.) into Cloud Foundry?
