CERNER CORPORATION

Speaker: Aaron Gershman, Sr. Software Engineer

Aaron Gershman is a software engineer on the GroundWorks team at Cerner. He hacks on Spring Boot, bash, and yaml. Aaron works with fascinating technologies like "BOSH", "Kubernetes", and "Microsoft Outlook". Aaron has 4 Dell R710s in a homelab acting as a space heater. He uses a GitHub project board to organize his house chores.

Abstract:

As a CF admin, manually managing orgs and memory quotas is time-consuming, error-prone, and requires JIRAs. As a developer, filling out JIRAs sucks. Cf-Mgmt is multi-foundation management as code. It defines your orgs, spaces, quotas, permissions, and more, all with simple YAML. It inverts responsibility back to developers with a self-service, git-backed, pull-request workflow. It offers traceability, transparency, and reproducibility. We'll cover why you should use CF-Mgmt, practical advice, problems we've faced with it, and how we intend to solve them. Next time when a team asks "How do I get a new CF space?", tell them "Open a pull request".
