Cloud Foundry targets developers to spark enterprise adoption

Attracting more developers to Cloud Foundry's cloud native application framework is the top priority for the open source foundation's new boss, Abby Kearns.

Kearns took on the role as executive director late last year, following the departure of former CEO, Sam Ramji, who joined Google's enterprise cloud division. Meanwhile, Chip Childers became the Foundation's CTO.

The reshuffle followed a solid year for Cloud Foundry, adding new members including Google, Bosch and Volkswagen, while the Foundation has updated its strategy around containers with the transition to a new container manager system, Diego.

There are now 2,800 code contributors and 140 full time committers for Cloud Foundry and, in a wider context platform as a service - which has lagged way behind other cloud delivery models - is gaining ground too, with revenues expected to grow at 18.5 percent a year according to Gartner.
