Pushing your first application to Cloud Foundry
In order to have applications running on Cloud Foundry, we must first be able to deploy them on Cloud Foundry. Colloquially, push it to the cloud is what you will hear and read to denote deploying the application to the cloud. The magic command to do this is:
cf push
That's it! There are of course a number of parameters that you will need, such as specifying the application name and perhaps other settings that may be needed for the application to run. However, before proceeding to push an application to Cloud Foundry, there are a number of prerequisites that must be fulfilled beforehand.
What you need before you push
The important minimum prerequisites before you push an application to Cloud Foundry are:
- Ensure your application is supported by Cloud Foundry and/or has the necessary buildpack.
- Ensure your application is Cloud Ready. While this is not strictly necessary, it will make starting development on the cloud easier by preventing occurrences...
