Cloud Foundry Summit 2026

This talk explores how we achieved a fully declarative deployment model on Cloud Foundry while re-platforming the App Autoscaler from a BOSH deployment to CF-native applications.

BOSH deployments provided reproducible manifests, environment-specific customization through ops files and a clear separation between deployment intent and deployment execution. Recreating those capabilities with standard Cloud Foundry manifests proved challenging for a system composed of multiple services, applications, and dependencies.

In this session, we'll share the lesson learned from modernizing App Autoscaler and how we used Cloud Foundry Foundation Project, MultiApps Controller and the MTA (Multi-Target Application) model to get to a declarative deployment experience for complex Cloud Foundry applications. We will demonstrate how MultiApps and the MTA model helped us manage configurations, coordinate multiple components, and deliver consistent deployments across environments.

Attendees will learn how MultiApps project can simplify the deployment and operation of complex Cloud Foundry applications through declarative configuration, deployment orchestration and consistent environment management.
