Use the following sections to get started deploying Cloud Foundry apps
to GKE by using Kf.
Get started with a quickstart
Use the quickstart to install Kf and deploy a
simple test Cloud Foundry app. This introduces you to the basic steps you'd
perform for most app deployments.
Get an introduction to key concepts
For an introduction to the value of Kf, as well as
high-level overviews of the technology, see the following documents:
To learn how to use service brokers with Kf,
see Service brokers.
For more information about Kf security design, see the
Security overview.
Migrate an existing Cloud Foundry Foundation to Kf
Kf provides tools that you can use to perform a
readiness assessment of your existing Cloud Foundry Foundation in preparation
for migration to Kf. You can then migrate the Cloud Foundry
Foundation, Organization, Space, or App to Kf.
