-
If you haven’t already, download the latest release of the Cloud Foundry CLI from https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/releases for your operating system and install it.
-
Set the API target for the CLI: (set appropriate end point for your environment)
$ cf api https://api.<some domain> --skip-ssl-validation
-
Login to Pivotal Cloudfoundry:
$ cf login
Follow the prompts
-
Change to the cf-spring-mvc-boot sample application directory:
$ cd $BOOTCAMP_HOME/cf-spring-mvc-boot
-
Push the application!
$ cf push
You should see output similar to the following listing. Take a look at the listing callouts for a play-by-play of what’s happening:

The CLI is using a manifest to provide necessary configuration details such as application name, memory to be allocated, and path to the application artifact. Take a look at
manifest.yml
to see how. -
In most cases, the CLI indicates each Cloud Foundry API call as it happens. In this case, the CLI has created an application record for Workshop in your assigned space.
-
All HTTP/HTTPS requests to applications will flow through Cloud Foundry’s front-end router called (Go)Router. Here the CLI is creating a route with random word tokens inserted (again, see
manifest.yml
for a hint!) to prevent route collisions across the defaultsome.domain.com
domain. -
Now the CLI is binding the created route to the application. Routes can actually be bound to multiple applications to support techniques such as blue-green deployments.
-
The CLI finally uploads the application bits to Pivotal Cloudfoundry. Notice that it’s uploading 75 files! This is because Cloud Foundry actually explodes a ZIP artifact before uploading it for caching purposes.
-
Now we begin the staging process. The Java Buildpack is responsible for assembling the runtime components necessary to run the application.
-
Here we see the version of the JRE that has been chosen and installed.
-
The complete package of your application and all of its necessary runtime components is called a droplet. Here the droplet is being uploaded to Pivotal Cloudfoundry’s internal blobstore so that it can be easily copied to one or more Droplet Execution Agents (DEA’s) for execution.
-
The CLI tells you exactly what command and argument set was used to start your application.
-
Finally the CLI reports the current status of your application’s health.
-
-
Visit the application in your browser by hitting the route that was generated by the CLI:
-
Get information about the currently deployed application using CLI apps command:
$ cf apps
Note the application name for next steps
-
Get information about running instances, memory, CPU, and other statistics using CLI instances command
$ cf app <<app_name>>
-
Stop the deployed application using the CLI
$ cf stop <<app_name>>
-
Delete the deployed application using the CLI
$ cf delete <<app_name>>
