Since we have just started using the solution, I won't be able to comment on its features. In my current company, we need access to and understand the solution. So, it takes a lot of time.

Pivotal Cloud Foundry is a private cloud platform for internal bank transactions, whereas AWS is for external transactions. The bank has set up a private cloud for more security, and Pivotal Cloud Foundry provides a secure option for hosting internal transactions.

I find the ease of deployment and management of microservices to be the most valuable features. The platform also has good auto-scaling capabilities.

Pivotal Cloud Foundry is very robust, especially for building Java. The solution is especially strong in Java because later it began to support other technologies, but Java remains its forte and it leverages many frameworks from the Spring Cloud, which is a very robust capability. It is very easy to build applications and they take care of many cross-cutting concerns that any application or platform has. Therefore, developers only need to focus on writing the business services, without worrying about the cross-cutting technical challenges that need to be solved in application development. The solution also has a very robust deployment capability, making deployment quite easy. We can build a service and then push it through with ease. Setting up the Pivotal platform is complex and takes a while, but once it is set up, it becomes much simpler.

It supports CI/CD, and is integrated with the CI/CD very well. The developer doesn't have to know the internal mechanism or the commands to be executed to push the apps into PCF. If they click on the CI/CD tool, that gets deployed to Cloud Foundry. Therefore, it's very well integrated with the CI/CD platforms.

It has consoles where users can log in and see that memory utilization, the current status of microservices, and the log space. They can see when it was last started and how many instances are available for this particular microservices. It gives details about who accessed it last. The console is user-friendly and self-driven. There is self-help, which helps to interpret the technical details, and it is easy to push through the release management tools.

It works seamlessly for all Spring Boot-based and Microsoft products. Whatever library you have, it works seamlessly. Let's say you have a local environment and you have dependencies that get added to Spring Boot; the same can be working in Cloud Foundry as well. There is not much difference between your dev and your container environment.
