Our Journey




Lessons on the way to production… Learning curve is steep...

plan to get help! Organization changes to

both people and process will be necessary to fully leverage the platform

Application re-architecture is imperative; running traditional 3-tier app on PCF won’t leverage all capabilities

Start with a clean slate; don’t replicate or map on-premise network topology to cloud
