Shaping Our Platform Future: Rabobank’s Shift To OSS Cloud Foundry - Jochem Siegel & René Dollevoet, Rabobank

Monday September 21, 2026 10:00 - 10:25 CEST

Friedrich Hegel 1 + 2

What happens when you move from a commercial Cloud Foundry distribution back to upstream open source?

In this duo talk, Rabobank shares its journey migrating from VMware Tanzu to OSS Cloud Foundry (cf-deployment). We present two complementary perspectives:

The Why (Management):
How rising costs, vendor constraints, and the need for greater platform ownership drove the decision. We’ll discuss financial considerations, risk trade-offs, and the strategic goal of increasing engineering autonomy.

The How (Platform Engineering):
A deep dive into executing the migration: rebuilding the platform using cf-deployment, redesigning operational workflows, handling upgrades, and managing day-2 operations. We'll share practical lessons, pitfalls, and tooling choices.

The Future:
How this move unlocked innovation, improved flexibility, and shaped Rabobank’s platform roadmap.
Attendees will leave with a real-world success story, actionable insights, and confidence to evaluate or pursue their own move to OSS Cloud Foundry.
