Cloud Foundry is open-source PaaS, started by VMware and spun out with other VMware-owned open-source code into EMC and VMware's Pivotal Software subsidiary. The Cloud Controller component is responsible for all management tasks. Being the main end point for the Cloud Foundry REST API, it uses the UAA module to authenticate and authorize users. Health Manager monitors the status of applications and takes appropriate actions, when it changes.
- OpenShift works on the Red Hat operating system only, while Cloud Foundry can run on all major Linux-like systems and has interfaces for most popular IaaS providers.
- Cloud Foundry natively supports Heroku buildpacks, a large collection of ready-to-use services.
- Though OpenShift uses cartridges for the same purpose, migration from a public Heroku platform to a private PaaS will not be as easy.
- Cloud Foundry has good integration with VMware’s products, including support for vCloud migration and the vSphere hypervisor. In its turn, OpenShift is well-integrated with Red Hat’s products.
- Cloud Foundry uses Warden containers, while OpenShift uses Docker containers, which have a different kind of abstraction.
- Out-of-the-box, OpenShift supports deploying applications through a Git repository, hot deploys, and auto scaling. Cloud Foundry does not support these features out-of-the-box, but they can be enabled using open source third-party tools.
- OpenShift is mainly developed by Red Hat, while a number of tech leaders are working on Cloud Foundry, aiming at making it a de-facto industry standard.
