The Cloud Foundry Foundation (CFF) today released an update to its command-line interface (CLI) that will enable DevOps teams to build more granular and complex workflows spanning multiple processes across the open source platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environment. Announced at the Cloud Foundry North American Summit, version 7 of the Cloud Foundry CLI employs updates to the application programming interfaces (APIs) exposed via the Cloud Foundry PaaS to invoke package, droplet, build and process control resources while adding resources such as sidecars, manifests and deployments.

In general, CFF is positioning the Cloud Foundry PaaS environment as a common framework for building and deploying applications on traditional virtual machines and Kubernetes clusters.

The CFF has also launched Cloud Foundry for Kubernetes (cf-for-k8s), a more ambitious effort to replace the underpinnings of the PaaS environment with a Kubernetes foundation.

As part of that effort, the Bosh framework that the CFF created to automate the deployment of its PaaS will also eventually be replaced by a framework optimized for Kubernetes environments.
