Case Study: Orange Labs & Cloud Foundry

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Orange builds an on‑prem platform called El Paso on top of Cloud Foundry (moved from VMware vCloud to BOSH CPI) that fetches Maven artifacts, instantiates application templates with releases and bindings, and maps a logical architecture into CF spaces via projection mapping; core is Spring Boot, service brokers (Splunk, ESB) and the CF Java client. It prototypes multi‑env deployments for 2,000 apps across 29 markets (240 million subscribers), works but struggles with upgrades, rollback, metrics and multi‑region; open source release is planned.
