In this 1.5-hour long project based course, you will learn how to manage, scale, and troubleshoot code generator that is running on Cloud Foundry.

Cloud Foundry is a multi-cloud application platform as a service (PaaS). It allows development teams to focus on writing quality code instead of being bogged down by configuring servers and network infrastructures. Cloud Foundry is used by over half of the Fortune 500 companies and in many major projects.

This course is aimed at learners who have development experience of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS development, and are comfortable using command line tools. Please note that an account with SAP.com, at least one working email account (preferably two), and a mobile phone that is capable of receiving text messages (for account verification only) from the United States are required. If necessary, a free 90-day trial account can be created with the included instructions.
